I too tried looking for him on both Sao Paulo's and Sporting Lisbon's websites and couldn't find anything on him. He isn't listed under Sao Paulo's U-20s roster, and I can't seem to find any info on the Sporting Lisbon website (primarily because the English version doesn't work for me).
So I did some more searching and came across this link:

Operazione in prospettiva dei nerazzurri che, attraverso i buoni uffici di Mino Raiola in Brasile, stanno concludendo l'ingaggio di Rincòn (19), al secolo Carlos Eduardo de Castro Lourenço, difensore polivalente appena svincolatosi dal S.Paolo. Acquistato dal Manchester United tre anni fa e prestato in seguito allo Sporting Lisbona, Rincon è stato capitano della nazionale under 17. Il giocatore potrebbe essere girato alla Sampdoria.

From what I can gather from the pretty shoddy translation is that somehow Inter Milan have managed to sign him and will be loaning him out to Sampdoria.
Does anyone know anything about this?
If this is true, it's an indication of how paperwork is really interfering with our recruiting of youth from around the world. On the other hand, it could be some Italian rumours site with little substance.
Nevertheless, I find it quite astonishing that it is so hard to gather any current information on Rincon's whereabouts, or his activities over the past year.
