Everton Ribeiro
Brazilian midfielder Everton Ribeiro is the latest talent in the Brazilian Serie A to impress and gain interest from larger European clubs, and Manchester United are one of the names on the list of clubs chasing him. The playmaker helped Cruzeiro to their first ever Brazilian league title, and although this may be good news for his side, it is bad news for the Old Trafford based side, as his market value will have soared. It will most likely command a bid of around £10m to prize him away from the Belo Horizonte club.
However, Ribeiro looks like he is very much interested in joining Manchester United and solve the midfield problems which for starters looks to be on the positive side of things. The Dailymail have quoted Ribeiro as saying:
‘I feel I am ready to play in any part of the world. If you play for Cruzeiro, you can play in any place. I would fit in any part of the midfield. I would do well as a playmaker to support the attack.’
Asked if he will be playing alongside Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney, the midfielder said: ‘It would be great.
‘I let my agent and Cruzeiro talk about that. When they feel it’s good for both parties, they will let me know. I’ll see and we’ll analyse everything.’
He is a Brazilian, very much interested in joining the squad and has just helped his side lift the league trophy. What are you waiting for Moyes?
