On the verge of the 2022 Qatar World Cup, all the important teams are eager to search for any football promise the participating nations could have. Even though some of them could be cut out of the final list of their country for the competition, that doesn't mean clubs would be less interested. Sometimes even if they are yet to make their international appearance, European giants are battling to sign football's next stars. 

That is the case of Andrey Santos, a center midfielder that some people have called "The Brazilian Busquets" that plays for Brazil's Vasco da Gama. So far, both Barcelona and Paris Saint Germain have eyed the 18-year-old. Nevertheless, the only formal offer that has been sent was from the Spanish team for almost 30 million euros.

Of course, having a youngster on the team's roster could be perfect if they actually want to use him in the future. In Barcelona's case, it could be perfect that Santos learns everything he can from the Spanish legendary midfielder. On the other hand, the opportunity to play with the best-attacking trio in the world is actually really tempting.

Which player could these teams realize if they sign the Brazilian?

For Barcelona, it could be a hard decision who to ax since they have already departed ways with the Spanish promise, Riqui Puig, after his move to the MLS. The debate would center between "La Masia" rising stars Gavi and Pedri or even recently arrived midfielder Franck Kessié. For PSG the perfect candidate to leave is the Portuguese player Renato Sanches who has only appeared as a subtitute for either Marco Verratti or Vitinha.
