Julian Alvarez - River Plate
The Argentinian international striker, who has scored 39 goals in 99 appearances and provided 25 assists for River Plate, will look to try and follow in the footsteps of countryman Sergio Aguero.
Leonardo Zabala - Santos
Endrick - Palmeiras
Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City are all keen to lure him away from his Brazilian home, and possibly their best chance will be this summer. Could be a tough one though.
