Brazilian striker Kauã Elias, currently on loan at Shakhtar Donetsk, has drawn significant interest from major European clubs following a strong start to the season. After scoring a hat-trick in a 5-1 victory over Kudrivka, reports indicated that Arsenal and Manchester United sent scouts to monitor the 20-year-old. Shakhtar Donetsk has reportedly established a minimum asking price of €30 million for the player, who is under contract until 2029. Elias has since expressed his ambitions to become the top scorer in the Champions League, viewing the tournament as a critical platform to secure a call-up to the Brazilian national team. He noted that the competition provides visibility to players at clubs like Shakhtar, suggesting that high-profile coaches would observe the tournament closely. While acknowledging interest from English clubs, Elias stated he is leaving negotiations to his representatives to maintain his focus on performance and professional growth despite the challenges of playing in Ukraine during the ongoing conflict. Recent reports indicate that Manchester United has established contact with the player’s representatives, although no official bid has been submitted. Arsenal continues to monitor his progress as both Premier League clubs look to bolster their attacking options. Elias, who joined Shakhtar from Fluminense in February 2025, recorded 11 goal involvements in 36 appearances for the Ukrainian club during the previous season.
