Juventus have reportedly done a deal with Flamengo for attacking midfielder Mattheus – the son of former Brazil ace Bebeto.

The 18-year-old, who had refused to sign a new contract with his Brazilian club, has been netted for a fee of around €2m.

Mattheus first hit the headlines as a baby given that his father’s cradle-rocking goal celebrations during the 1994 World Cup were in his honour.

Mattheus is a Brazilian Under-20 international.
