The Brazilian left back Guilherme Siquiera was very close to signing to Real Madrid at the start of this season. The deal was practically done & all that was needed was that Manchester United sign Coentrao. In the last minute of the transfer deadline ( right on mid-night) while Siquiera waited outside the Benfica Club doors for Real Madrid to call him, the negotiations between Real Madrid & Manchester United backfired over if they should sell or loan.
The end result was that Coentrao stayed at Real Madrid & Siquiera stayed this season at Benfica. The Brazilian has taken the left - back position at Benfica & is having a marvellous season with the Club.
Yesterday, a local late-night National TV Football programme announced that barring something terrible, Guilherme Siquiera would be a new signing for Real Madrid for next season. It is almost certain that current left-back Coentrao will not be continuing & Siquiera is the chosen replacement.
If this is correct it shuts the door on young Spanish International & Sevilla FC defender Alberto Moreno who was also tipped to be the new left-back at Real Madrid. Siquiera is an excellent Football player, a typical Brazilian with attacking spirit that has an fabulous shot when aimed at goal.
As with all these types of news pieces, until the Clubs make it official, they remain rumour. Although the "strength" of the news & the precedents makes one believe that it could well be tied up. Stay tuned.
