Everton has been following Iago Teodoro da Silva Nogueira of Flamengo for some time. He is a Brazilian captain of the U20 team and one of South America's most sought-after young players. Everton faces competition from another Premier League side, Brentford, and Club Brugge has also recently become interested in the player. Flamengo rejected a bid of around €2 million, which also included a sell-on percentage, from the Brazilian club Bahia for the 20-year-old defender. Teodoro has 13 caps and 3 goals for Brazil's U20 team, and his contract at the club is valid until December 2026. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €1.00m.
