RIO DE JANEIRO, May 17 (Xinhua) -- New York City have reached a deal to sign Brazilian teenager Talles Magno from Vasco da Gama, according to media reports in the South American country.
The 18-year-old forward is currently in New York and is expected to sign a five-year contract after undergoing a routine medical examination, news outlet Globo Esporte said on Monday.
It added that the deal could be worth up to 12 million U.S. dollars, including performance-based bonuses.
Magno, who has represented Brazil at youth level, has made 61 first-team appearances for Vasco da Gama and scored five goals since making his first-team debut in 2019.
He is the second Brazilian to join New York City in two months, following the arrival Thiago Andrade from Bahia in early April.
