Rio de Janeiro July 4 (IANS) Brazil Under-20 football team striker Felipe Vizeu could leave Flamengo for Sporting Lisbon during the European summer transfer window.
The 20-year-old has fallen out of favour under Flamengo coach Ze Ricardo playing just 13 matches -- mostly as a substitute -- and scoring twice since January reports Xinhua news agency.
The Globoesporte news portal said Flamengo have placed a nine million euro ($10.21 million) price tag on the forward who has also been linked with Benfica.
Vizeu attracted the attention of Europe s top clubs by scoring four goals in eight matches for Brazil during the South American U-20 championships in January and February.
He has scored five goals in 18 matches since being promoted from Flamengo s youth academy last year.
