Spanish Football Club FC Barcelona has "beaten" Real Madrid in the signing of Portuguese International midfielder ANDRE GOMES. The 22 year old Valencia CF player will change for Barça after the latter forks out 35M€ in an initial transfer fee. However, the figure is more likely to rise to 70M€ after you add a further 20M€ in variables plus a further 15M€ in individual-collective objetives.
But there is more, Valencia CF wants on top one of the following players: Montoya, Tello & Samper either in property or loans.
Big money for a player which ended up a substitute in the Portugal team during the Euro 2016 Championship. The real value is in the players age, 22 years & scope for further growth. The idea is to slowly take over from Iniesta who is maturing & will be rested more in coming seasons.
Rumour has it that newly crowned European Champion & Portuguese midfielder for spanish Football club Valencia, ANDRE GOMES, is the first option to boost Real Madrid midfield for next season. Real Madrid Coach Zidane wants to strengthen the centre of the field with quality but at the same time with a hard worker.
At 22 years old Portuguese International responds to the wanted profile with good ball skills , quick thinking in building the play and balancing to help out with defensive duties . In a nutshell , a player who can cover Luka Modric if injured or given a rest .
The asked price from Valencia CF is a huge 65M€ which is frankly over inflated. Real Madrid knows beforehand that Valencia needs to sell to pay off debt 6 stay with inthe UEFA "financial fair-play" limits. Time is on the buyers side & this week could be decisive as both Clubs talk out options in reference to Andre Gomes.
There are other Clubs also very interested. It has been written that Juventus FC has put forward a 40M€ offer, while other Clubs like PSG, Chelsea & even FC Barcelona are close by with the fishing string.
Stay tuned!
