Manchester United and Manchester City are on red alert after Paulo Henrique Ganso attacked his club, Santos.
Ganso was promised a new contract by Santos when they pulled out the stops to draw up a deal to keep his team-mate Neymar out of Chelsea's clutches in August.
However, talks were put on hold when he picked up a knee injury and he feels let down by club bosses.
"Nothing has been resolved, there is no signature on the contract," said the frustrated 21-year-old.
"It has been five months and nothing. To not be valued by your club is complicated. Talks were closed because Santos stopped coming to me."
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is a big fan of the towering attacking midfielder, while City made enquiries for Ganso last summer. Their option on the youngster expired following Robinho's departure from Santos this season.
