Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini is launching a bid for Flamengo attacking midfielder Renato Augusto.
Flushed with the funds from the sales of Andrea Barzagli, Cristian Zaccardo and Amauri, Zamparini is ready to burn off all competition for Brazilian youngster Renato.
Renato, 20, is rated at over £15 million by Flamengo.
