They were always bound to. They haven’t had a solid RW ever since Bale left, and Mastantuono looks very raw.

My fear is he has a breakthrough World Cup campaign, and Perez will put in a £120m offer. Will our lot be able to resist such a big bid? Estevao already said as a Brazilian Spain is his dream before kicking a ball for us, and he is currently one of our lowest earners.
Unfortunately I think it's inevitable that he ends up at RM, but let's hope that like Hazard, we get a lot of good seasons out of him beforehand.

Note to Maresca: Play him every game as I don't think we'll need to worry about him by the time he's 26................................!!!

I think there's no doubt they would. The reality is if he's worth 120m at 18, he will be worth more at 22. That's all they'll see.

Especially considering he'd still have a lot of money left on his amortised fee. So it wouldn't even be that big a profit.

 
Too soon to worry about any of that.

Real already have Diaz, Mastantuono and Guler for that spot anyway.

 
He’ll be here for a minimum of 4 years I reckon. He’ll be the best paid player at the club by then too.

Madrid and PSG are the only two clubs in the world that will be able to afford him outside of the Premier League and it would probably be a world record fee.

Nothing much to worry about for a good few years I reckon.

 
Not to be a doom sayer but for as long as we have the Bald One in charge, players like Stevie & CP are a little bit wasted.

Don’t get me wrong they’re the 2 players who can get you out your seat everytime they touch the ball.

It’s just we play such a rigid boring ‘system’ they’ll never hit that dizzying potential they should whilst they’re here.

Stevie under Carlo in the NT looks lights out, CP under Poch, for us, was 10x the player he’s been since ‘Marescaball’ took over.

Players like Cucu & Pedro Neto will look better under this strict rigidity. Actual world class talents won’t as they can’t express themselves.

Highly doubt that. We all know how Madrid works; if they decide they want him, they will have started the groundwork already. Something strange popped up in the press before while he was still on loan at Palmeiras about the owners been happy he has doubled his value without kicking a ball for the team.

It’s reported he is on £30k/w on a 7 year deal, and his value has continued growing due to his exploits for Brazil. If we assume he is an £80m player now, no way should he be on those wages. As things stand he hasn’t done anything in a blue shirt to require a contract improvement, which the owners will be happy about. All Madrid have to do is to tell him not to sign an extension, and keep throwing in bids every summer till our lot budge. He is easier for Madrid to sign on a low contract presently, and will be expensive for our lot as things stand.

Dont doubt any of that, what peevs me off is the guy hasnt fully integrated into UK life or playing full time in the side and Madrid are starting the rumour mill and given our owners dell boy credentials, they'll take five players from Madrid's Academy and trouser 50 million. More likely now Our owner wont be able to sell overpriced tickets.

 
I think we will do well to hold him for two seasons was watching Brazil vs Senegal where he scored a decent goal and already the clamour is growing in Brazil that he is new generational superstar with that kind of following not sure we can keep him that long.

A couple of seasons ago many here were disgusted with clubs including ours wanting to join a European Super League we wanted our wet and windswept nights in Stoke yet how many in his first season would start him on a wet and windy night in Stoke?

 
He's playing against Tunisia, so definitely won't be starting against Burnley now.

So frustrating that we need to "protect" our players just for them to go on international duty and play every game.

 
What a penalty he just took. The fact he is trusted to take a penalty by his experienced colleagues tells you something. Dispatched magnificently.

 
I repeat, this boy is far better than any winger in Chelsea easily. Im a very little time he will become one of the best in the world in his position, or the best.

Chelsea needs to take this boy seriously, manager and etc. For example, he does more in national team than vinicius jr.

Congratulations you guys from Chelsea for the acquisition

He's the wonderkid that keeps on giving. He unleashes such power when he shoots. His balance on the ball when running at speed is almost impossible to defend against. His decision making is beyond his years.

He's starting to make a name for himself this side of the Atlantic and we are very lucky to have him. I suppose we should thank the scouting team for spotting him early.

 
Dragging the biggest footballing nation in the world through matches and outperforming Madrid and Barcelona superstars but he can’t start multiple back to back PL games.

 
The kid is simply the best player for Brazil at 18yo. He's surprising everyone including Carlo.

Now, that does not change the fact this Brazil is dire, esp midfield. On the other hand, Carlo's style will make them annoying to play against at the WC; the big teams will always have to be watching their backs, which is something that usually works well in the playoffs.

Almost as if the club-pedalled notion that all our players need "protection" and "rotation" because they are "tired after the Club World Cup" is just a bunch of BS LOL
