The 18-year-old, who has already been lumbered with the tag of the 'new Javier Mascherano' has emerged on the radar of European scouts over the past six months.

Zuculini only made his first-team debut for Racing Club in April, but he is already established in the starting XI.

Now Liverpool and Manchester United are said to be considering bids - although the Italian media suggests Juventus are close to sealing a deal.

However, the player himself insists he is happy and is not yet ready to move.

"There is always going to be talk," he said when asked about Juventus' interest.

"But I want to continue here for three or four more big competitions.

"I want to know what it is to play for Racing and enjoy the love from the fans."
