Despite Arsenal's interest, the 12-time Brazilian Serie A champions are hesitant to let their gem leave anytime soon as they see him as a vital part of their future.
The club have now valued the teenager at €80m (£67m), a fee that may prove too high for the Gunners in the summer.

Luighi could become the next Brazilian star to shine at the Emirates as the Gunners closely monitor his progress in securing his signature.
Although Marquinhos has not yet fully established himself since arriving at the São Paulo club, Martinelli is an excellent example of the Gunners' experience in integrating young foreign players into the team, where they then make notable progress.
