The left-back position needs to be reinforced at REAL MADRID, no one who has followed the Club the season doubts that it is currently an area which can be exploited & has been effectively by opposition teams. To this effect, The Spanish Club has been scouting the International market for someone young & cost effective; one of those players is 23 year old defender DAVID LUIZ of BENFICA who is “exploding” this season in the Portuguese League. This has been openly acknowledged by Club Institutional & Public Relations Director Emilio Butrageño who comments that Madrid is attentive & following the situation, as picked up today in Sports daily "AS".
Like all players who differentiate themselves with good play, & causes “noise” to transcend his local boarders, the spectator - be they media or other Clubs - also take good note. This is the case of English Premier League Clubs Chelsea FC & Manchester United plus the Germans Bayern Munich who also see the potential in the player. Chelsea has already set an “exploratory” transfer price of 11 M€ which Benfica considers way below the “real” market worth of Luiz, which interpreted financially – with so many “wanna be´s” – will lead to a bidding process, something within the strategy of the Portuguese Club.
Said all this, one has to be conscious that it is normal around this period of the season to talk & write about potential transfers & “card swapping”. All is speculation, rumour & strategic moves by interested parties to find themselves the most effective positions to later defend their cases & make some money.
