Napoli and Tottenham are reportedly keen on acquiring 22-year-old Monaco talent Vanderson this summer, according to Italian sources.

Vanderson, who joined Monaco from Brazil in 2021, just celebrated his 22nd birthday on Friday.

Primarily a right back or wing-back, Vanderson contributed three goals in 20 Ligue 1 matches during the 2023-24 season, bringing his total to six goals in 68 league appearances over the past two-and-a-half seasons. In 2023, he also earned his first two caps for Brazil.

The promising Brazilian player is contracted with Monaco until June 2028, having signed a five-and-a-half year deal in January 2022, followed by a one-year extension in February. Monaco reportedly paid €11 million to acquire him from Gremio.

AC Milan had reportedly shown interest in Vanderson back in 2021 when he was still a teenager playing in Brazil.
