Manchester City have made contact with Gremio over a deal to sign West Ham target Everton.
The Brazilian winger is being tracked by a host of clubs, including West Ham, with Manchester City now seemingly ready to make their move.
According to Globo Esporte, via Sport Witness, Manchester City have spoke with his agent regarding a deal to bring him to England in the summer.
Italian giants AC Milan are also said to be interested, alongside Manchester City and West Ham.
The report claims that Gremio are set to demand โฌ40m for Everton, who has been impressing for the Brazilian club this season.
Everton has made over 100 appearances for Gremio since breaking into the first-team set up and scored ten times during the 2018 season.
He has also been capped four times by Brazil at international level, making his debut last year.
West Ham will now have to step up their pursuit of Everton if they want to steal a march on Manchester City.
