Barcelona has an important ally in Deco, who has already facilitated the integration of Rafinha this summer. The former Barcelona player, also from other clubs such as Porto or Chelsea, has become one of Joan Laporta’s trusted men, and an important advisor for the arrival of promising Brazilian talent. Now, he did not think twice before recommending the appointment of another citizen.
His name is Vanderson, and he plays in Monaco. At the Camp Nou they have really good reports about him, and in fact they actually thought about signing him, before Hector Bellerin was closed down. They ruled out his relegation only a few weeks ago, but that doesn’t mean they’re not interested in him, and won’t take their eyes off him. Because he showed huge potential, considering he was able to settle at Stade Louis II at just 21 years old.
He could be a good complement to the right wing, as there is currently only a player from Badalona and Sergi Roberto, which is not guaranteed, although they enjoy the confidence of Xavi Hernandez. And we should not forget about Sergio Dest, who went on loan to Milan, but the plans are to move him, and get a figure of close to 20 million euros. Therefore, if something complicates, in a few months they will study the arrival of another right-back.
Several options have been discussed, such as Thomas Meunier, of Borussia Dortmund, but the one that seems to convince Laporta the most is the one that stands out for Vanderson, which Deco personally recommended. He believes he has what it takes to succeed at Barcelona, and become the new Dani Alves, and his progress since joining LaLiga in January from Gremio de Porto Alegre has been remarkable.
They have invested 11 million euros, an amount that has already been amortized, with a market value of about 20 “million euros”. Roughly, that’s the number they’ll call to let them leave.
Real Madrid are also interested in Vanderson
Another reason for Deco to quickly introduce Vanerson to Barcelona is the pressure that Real Madrid can apply. Because Florentino Perez is also looking for a new right wing rift, Dani Carvajal calls for a collateral replacement, who can discuss ownership.
In Barcelona, they will have to fight with the eternal rival to close the appointment of the footballer from Monaco, which may be one of Tite’s surprises in inviting ‘Brazil’ to the World Cup in Qatar.
