If we come back to 3rd division, I can see that.
However, it could prove to be tough to convince him to go from a starter in Brazilian league to 4th division in Spain.

Then a loan spell. He shouldnt be expecting a 1st team role at this moment.

Tough to see him going to Barca B after a full season starting in the Brazilian first division, even if it's for the last placed team.

Either a loan spell or he stays with the team if deemed good enough.

Tough to foresee how our midfield situation unfolds.

Looks great in that video. But we have to remember videos can be misleading.

Looks a good talent though. Hope he has a good career and prime when he comes to Europe. Looking forward to seeing more from him.

So is the only report of this still from Florentino's buddy or have some other reliable folks confirmed it?

The information about Barça's interest in the Sporting player was released this Tuesday by the newspaper Marca and confirmed by Globo. [Source Globo]

Its legit. Brazils Globo have verified it.

Sneaky feeling it doesn't go through though. Sporting Recife reportedly rejected a 12m euro bid from EPL in April. So it's going to be around 20m or so including installments and sell on % - presumably.

I thought he was he a sneaky cheap deal for 15m plus, it's unlikely unless we work a sweet heart deal out

15m for a guy with 5 starts in Brasileirao would be madness in our position. I don't think Deco goes for this deal if it costs more than 5m, or like 5m + 10m in unlikely installments (like 20 league games and a Ballon D'or)
