Real Madrid are interested in a 14 year-old Brazilian wonderkid, dubbed the 'Black Maradona'.
 
Dunguinha, who plays for Mirassol de Sao Paulo is attracting serious interest from Real, as confirmed by Mirassol president Carlos Roberto Carvalho: "Yes, it is true, they have called me in the last days, as Barcelona did last year.

"But my answer has been the same one: he is too young to move. I want him to stay here and grow before making the big jump to Europe."

On Barca's interest, where Dunguinha spent 15 days on trial, Carvalho also revealed to AS: "President Joan Laporta ordered ten people to sign him."

Real could take an option with Mirassol to sign Dunguinha when he turns 16. The Brazilian club are familiar with such arrangements, having already negotiated a similar deal with PSV Eindhoven for 13 year-old Nicao.
