The River midfielder is expected to arrive at the Bernabeu in the current window, while there are a host of other talents hoping for big transfers
Social1Pedro | Fluminense
Only 21 years of age but Fluminense's attacking gem has already attracted the attention of Real Madrid, who were said to be close to a deal over the summer before an untimely injury for Pedro ended talks.
Madrid's interest is logical. Pedro is a strong, direct centre-forward who can already boast a top scorer award in the Carioca State Championship, while he was also named the revelation of the 2018 Serie A thanks to his 10 goals in 19 games prior to his injury.
If the striker can get back to fighting fitness, a big European move surely will not be far off, while he also holds hopes of breaking into Brazil's Copa America squad after receiving a call-up from Tite in 2018.

The 18-year-old midfielder was one of the few highlights in an otherwise miserable campaign for Parana, who suffered relegation from Serie A with just four wins in 38 games.
Lucas played 21 times for his side in the league, scoring twice and generally impressing with his talents in the middle of the pitch. And despite his team's malaise, he showed enough to convince Juventus he could be one to watch.
The Bianconceri are said to have a verbal agreement with Parana for a sale worth €4m, with the youngster's agent affirming that a formal contract offer is set to arrive in the coming days.

At just 16, Vasco's promising left-back is already considered one of Brazil's hottest defensive prospects. His given name surely will not hurt his chances, evoking memories of the former Boca and Barcelona legend Juan Roman.
Riquelme has already signed terms with the NN sports management agency, run by Neymar, and has come under the eye of PSG and Benfica despite his tender age.

With more than 200 professional outings, one Copa Libertadores trophy and a Copa do Brasil gong, Everton certainly has bundles of experience for a 22-year-old still learning the ropes.
The forward has been at the heart of the Gremio team since he was a teenager, offering a dynamic attacking presence that has helped the Porto Alegre side establish themselves as one of South America's strongest outfits.
While reported interest from Manchester United at the end of 2018 seems to have petered out, he still has interest across the Atlantic.
AC Milan, set to shed the disappointing Gonzalo Higuain, are one team linked with his services in January.
