Dang this is actually really good. I think people often forget he's just 18. Strikers at 18 mostly play garbage minutes in some shit ass league, they don't start most games in a La Liga club and put up overall solid performances week in week out.
I don't know if he lives up to potential and all that, but he'll be a solid striker one day for sure on a much bigger stage than Betis in my opinion.
He's nearly 20 in fact but generally I think it's really dumb to sign young strikers. Going off the brazilian league is even worse, we're not playing that kind of football.
But we know it was a panic signing, statement, or just dumb, what you wanna call it, "look madrid got a new brazilian, need one too, quick!".
I'm not opposed to any signings, but just splurging so much money because of some brazilian league, madrid and that shady agent again....
You can look at what Manure did, and it shows you need a mature striker, not some that MIGHT do something in MAYBE 5 years. Most aren't Haaland.
Betis has an option to extend loan.
So far, he is showing enough for them to want him back. He is on the way of a 15+ goals in the season.
If he can get 20 goals next year, which isn't far fetched with full preseason with Betis, plenty of clubs would pay 40M for 21 years old striker.
So how much did we even pay for him? I read 30 million plus 30 million bonus(?)
