Manchester United and Liverpool face a battle with Inter Milan to clinch the signing of Brazilian teenage star Lucas, according to reports in Italy.

Sir Alex Ferguson and Kenny Dalglish have been strongly linked with a move for the Sao Paulo midfielder who is regarded one of the best young talents in South America.

Lucas has already made his breakthrough into the Brazil senior side and is expected to make a big money move into Europe during the summer.

Reports in Italian newspaper Tuttosport are now suggesting that Inter Milan have made contact with the Brazilian club and hope to finalise a move for the 19-year-old.

Sao Paulo will be looking for at least £30m for their star player but a bidding war could make the price go even higher at the end of the season.
