Vasco da Gama superkid Philippe Coutinho insists he knows nothing of interest from Real Madrid.

Coutinho, 15, is regarded as the brightest talent in Brazil for his age and is yet to sign pro forms with Vasco.

Real are following the attacking midfielder, but those close to Coutinho say his family are yet to be contacted officially by the Spanish giants about a move to Europe.

AC Milan have also been linked with Coutinho, who has confessed his idol is Kaka.
