Manchester City has emerged as the frontrunner to secure the services of 17-year-old Brazilian prodigy Dell, surpassing Manchester United’s interest in the talented forward, as reported by TEAMtalk.
After an impressive year with Bahia, who are part of the City Football Group, Dell has captured the attention of many top European clubs. His swift ascent in both national and international football showcases his immense potential.
Known for his remarkable speed, precise finishing, and smart positioning, Dell has drawn comparisons to Erling Haaland, the star striker for City.

Despite his youth, Dell has already taken the field twice for Bahia’s senior team.
His coaches praise his bravery, concentration, and maturity, noting his composure in high-pressure situations.
Dell’s ability to function both as a central striker and as a winger offers tactical flexibility, a quality highly valued by Pep Guardiola and the City recruitment team.
