Do you think news has got out we're after a centre-back? Bruno Viana, 25-year old Brazilian currently playing in the Portuguese top division for Braga. 6' 1" (and bit of dead skin on his feet for an extra half inch), right footed with a contract ending in 2023. Uncapped at any level he came to Europe in 2016 to join Olympiacos before signing a loan deal with Braga in 2017. He signed permanently for them in 2018. Price quoted as anywhere between €20-€25m. He doesn't appear to be crocked or have a poor injury record so even as a rumour it seems ridiculous. http://sportwitness.co.uk/watford-race-sign-liga-nos-defender-e25m-release-clause-get-less/ https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bruno-viana/profil/spieler/411838 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruno_Viana
For €20 no doubt he'd be a bargain. Jokes aside €25mil is just his release clause. Wolves and ourselves were actually linked with him as well last summer, with a suggested fee of £10mil: https://www.mediareferee.com/2019/0...ption-for-wolves-to-boost-defensive-solidity/ His rating and stats on whoscored don't seem very good.
