RIO DE JANEIRO, June 9 (Xinhua) -- Bayern Munich have expressed interest in signing teenage Brazilian Gabriel Jesus, the forward's agent said on Thursday.

Gabriel is the top scorer for Brazilian Serie A club Palmeiras this year with 13 goals in all competitions.

He is expected to be one of the first players picked in Brazil's squad for the Rio Olympic Games football tournament in August.

"I spoke with one of Bayern's scouts. And I previously had a conversation with somebody at Juventus. But they are only inquiries." Gabriel's agent, Cristiano Simoes, told Brazilian portal Lance.

The 19-year-old has a release clause of 40 million euros written into his Palmeiras contract. The fee is discounted to 24 million euros for Manchester United, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint Germain, according to Simoes.

"It's not only the financial aspect that we're looking at," the agent said. "We're analyzing projects, cities, the language, everything. He is not in a hurry. Right now we are focusing on the Brazilian championship."
