Andrik scores a big goal (from Twitter)
The biggest teams on the continent continue their pursuit of Brazilian soccer prodigy Andric.
According to ESPN, Paris Saint-Germain presented Palmeiras with an offer of €45 million for the 16-year-old striker - but it was immediately rejected.
The diamond's representatives made it clear to the French champion that they would be willing to continue the talks, but only if Paris pays the player's release clause - 60 million euros.
The French giants have been in contact with Andric's family for some time, and have even asked Neymar to make contact to ensure the deal is completed.
Chelsea is also in the picture, after hosting the player and his family at the training complex and sending Thiago Silva to deepen the relationship.
Those around Andric admitted that his biggest dream is to play in the Premier League, although the interest that Real Madrid and Barcelona are showing in him is only increasing.
At the age of 16, three months and four days, Andrik became the youngest conqueror in the history of Palmeiras.
Since making his senior debut last month, he has scored three goals and assisted one more.
It should be noted that he will be able to leave for Europe only in 2014, after his 18th birthday.

"I would take Andrik to the World Cup," Ronaldo said this week.
"I think he is a young man with a bright future ahead of him, but he is already playing like a professional. This could have been an extraordinary experience for him and for the future of the Brazilian national team."
In Brazil, they have already made sure to compare the young star to Ronaldo, Romario, Neymar and Adriano.
"I don't deal with rumours," he told the French media recently.
"I know I want to play in Europe, so I will have to play well in Brazil. I watch the Champions League, the Premier League, La Liga, the French League, the Bundesliga. I like to learn from the stars and imitate them, but I don't have a favorite team."
