So O'Jogo reckon that we could make a move in January and Benfica would sell for £38.5m.

That's nice, just a world record fee for a full back unproven outside the Portuguese league and with plenty of obvious flaws.

He's from La Masia which means he'll fit Pep. In fact Pep probably knew him when he was there.

And he'll fit right in with our "most expensive CB ever" and "most expensive englishman" and "most expensive Belgian" and "most expensive german."

Again, the fact he's coming from Benfica doesn't mean much because of his history at Barcelona.

Seems a lot of money but if he is the best we can get then I'm all for it, improvement in this area could make a huge difference!
 
barcelona sold him for 1.5m just a year back .... but he does look talented

There was a falling out within the club - rumours that he refused to go out on loan to a Spanish side which then resulted in coaches limiting his playing time. Coupled with Lucho freezing him out from any first team appearances, his days were numbered. It was a strange fall from grace as years ago I thought he'd become the youngest defender for the club to ever play for the first team.

Happy for the player and it'd be great if he could play again for Guardiola
 
pep will know what he can do, we seem to have gone away from the inverted fullbacks , maybe this lad will help us get back to that way of playing as pep feels our current fullback cant do it as well as he wants
 
Price seems like a gouch. Why didn't we spot this last year when he cost just 1.5 million :(

What's Txiki doing if he doesn't have the pulse of what's going on at Barca. It's not like our need for a young fullback materialized today.

Anything over 20 million is a ripoff. and that assumes he becomes a Worldly.
 
Not sure why people are getting hung up on this price, it's just english journalists completely failing to understand release clauses again. His release clause is €45m, that doesn't mean that's what he'd cost to buy
 
Don't know much about him but the fee looks like a joke if he changed hands for such a small amount so recently.
