Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce is ready to make a new Brazilian addition.
The Sun says Bruce is also looking at Brazilian Marrony at Vasco da Gama.
But Toon would have to pay a huge fee to help his work permit hopes.
The winger, 20, is tipped for a bright future but would struggle to get into the country unless the Geordies offer a large sum, which influences the appeals procedure.
Marrony has spent his entire career with Vasco.
