Manchester City make enquiries into young Brazilian starlet

Manchester City are looking to add more up and coming talent to their squad and have made enquiries into the availability of Inter Milan starlet Philippe Coutinho, who is currently on loan at Vasco da Gama.

The 19 year old, who is known for his tricks and accurate passing, first joined Inter Milan in 2008 for around £2.5m but has not returned to the Serie A side since picking up his 13 league appearance. The City board though still feel he would add something to the future of Manchester City and want to know how much Inter Milan would accept for him.

Should Inter be prepared to sell the youngster it is likely that Coutinho will not receive a work permit with the Eastlands side most likely to allow him to remain in Brazil on loan.
