Bayern Munich is always scouring the market for exciting young talents. As it should. With so many young teenagers currently dominating world football, it is integral to be on the lookout for raw talent around the globe and swiftly secure their services, provided they are the right fit. Brazil has produced some of the best talents of all time, including current big names Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, and Raphinha, to name a few.
As far as Bayern’s luck with Brazilian talent goes, the most recent transfer happens to be a certain Philippe Coutinho (on a season-long loan) who famously won a treble with the club in the 2019/20 season (yes, we are going to pretend that the Douglas Costa loan never happened). The 2013 treble-winning squad had both Dante and Rafinha. You get the idea.
According to a recent report from @UOLEsporte (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Bayern Munich has its sights set on a young Brazilian winger from São Paulo:
São Paulo winger Henrique Carmo (18), one of the most promising prospects at the club, is being monitored by FC Bayern. Henrique’s current contract expires in 2025, but the Brazilian club is close to reaching a renewal agreement with the player to fend off interest from Europe… pic.twitter.com/XqByoxsHuD

While not much seems to be on the internet about the player, there are some nice YouTube compilations of his skills (I will try to upload a video in the comments; feel free to share ones you like too!). The winger is young and seems to possess a lot of talent. His profile seems to be that of an out-and-out winger, which is good, since it means more variety in the Bayern front-line.
It is likely that at least one of Coman, Sané, and Gnabry leaves the club in the near future, and it is always a good idea to bring in talents that can be refined and prepared to take over the position. Carmo seems to be great at stretching play, dribbling in tight spaces, and seems to have pace to burn. All these attributes make him perfect for the profile the club is looking for.
However, the player is still quite unproven, which should likely change with regular minutes with Bayern II and hopefully, a transition to the first team. But all this could still be wishful thinking, since Bayern probably has its hands full with the renewal situation. There might be a battle potentially brewing.
Again, where is Brazzo and his PowerPoint presentation when you need him?
