50m. Should we go after him instead of De Ligt?

RM bound. Apparently. There are hardly any promising CB's in Portugal this season other than him. After the 36 year old Pepe's return to Porto this winter, he immediately became the second best CB in Portugal.

BTW, the previous page of this thread is another confirmation of how idiotic our resident clown, Jair Ventura, really is. Nice to get another confirmation and reminder.

Real Madrid are very close to sign him.

Who would you pick, him or De Ligt?

MIlitao for 50m instead of De Ligt for 80m imo. I don’t think that there are that much difference between them.

I like De Ligt leader character though. I think a CB pair should have at least one leader

De Ligt is 2 years younger. Won the golden boy award (first defender to receive the award.) And i think he's by far the best defender of his age group.
But other than that, there isn't much difference between them.

They both seem very promising.

Safe to say it is done.

Now, RMFC will be paying about 50m for Militão (21) while FCB about 70m for De Ligt (19).

Who got the better deal?

Apparently, he has already signed.

Well, de Ligt is one year younger, has more caps and more games in Europe.

Also de Ligt has proved himself against top opponents already. Militão is hyped for his performances in Liga NOS, just like Mangala and Danilo.

But we'll see, so far de Ligt hasn't been bought. I think both of them will have great careers at the highest level.

Should have gone for De Ligt instead, too late now, lets hope for the best.

Its official. Never seen him honestly - how good is he?

Real sure likes their brazilians... I think we have made the safer bet with De Ligt, he has incredible leader-potential as well.

I get that they don't bet on Vallejo too much, with all his injuries, and Ramos can't continue forever either.
AFAIK Real already has 3 non-EU-players in Casemiro, Vinicius and Valverde, so maybe the latter will be loaned, unless Casemiro will get a double passport soon?

Edit: Oh, and their newest braz-boy Rodrygo can't get into the squad as well, how will they solve this??

Floro needs to create some buzz and positive PR after their disaster of a season and Barcelonas potential treble.

Zidanes return, now announcing Militao. Dont be surprised if we hear of more players for next season before the season is over

This guy isn't even better than Lenglet lmao.

Not sure about Valverde, but Casemiro has a Spanish passport. I think Valverde probably has one too.
