Sporting Lisbon president Bruno de Carvalho has hinted that starlet Bruma could leave the club, insisting he cannot work miracles regarding the situation of a player who has been labelled the "new Cristiano Ronaldo" in some quarters.
Bruma is currently starring in the Under-20 World Cup in Turkey with the Portuguese side and has attracted renewed attention from a number of clubs due to his performances.
The 18-year-old, who has been placed on Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho’s radar, is out of contract with Sporting Lisbon next summer.
That places the Portuguese giants in a difficult situation should bids arrive within the current transfer window – and De Carvalho has bemoaned the fact that they are in such a spot at all.

"We do not do miracles", De Carvalho was quoted as saying by Portuguese daily Record.
"Again, I say this is a situation which should have been resolved.
"Naturally, many clubs are interested in our players."
Bruma is a product of the Sporting Lisbon youth system, having headed over to Portugal from his native Guinea-Bissau.
He has featured for Portugal at Under-15, Under-16, Under-17, Under-19, Under-19 and Under-20 level.
