The 2 Brazilian stars Real Madrid wanted and who are coming to LaLiga will be rivals

These two South American targets that Real Madrid had will be able to face each other in the league, and it will be a great stage

The white team has considered different options over the past few years, where it has lost some of these options in the market. In this case, there are two footballers who were on its radar at the time and who ended up at Manchester City. We're talking about Claudio Echeverri, from River Plate, and Vitor Reis, from Palmeiras.

These two players, just 19 years old, seem to be close to joining a Spanish competition facility of Manchester City, which is Girona. The same process was followed by a footballer like Savio, who is now already part of Manchester City. This is a more than logical strategy by the British, and now they'll face the club that wanted to sign them.

They will face Real Madrid

In the case of the Brazilian footballer, his performance with Palmeiras was simply spectacular while he was there. With a current market value of 30 million euros, he seems to be a rising prospect who will need to be developed by Guardiola. Counting his last season in Brazilian soccer, he managed to rack up a good amount of minutes, surpassing 2,950 min. (2,700 min.) in 33 matches.

Meanwhile, the River Plate footballer also had some impressive qualities that caught the attention of the best team in the world. It was in the 23/24 season that he racked up more than 2,520 min. (2,300 min.) in 41 matches and had 10 goal contributions as an attacking midfielder. These are two profiles that Real Madrid could have signed without any problem given its needs, but in the end, they went to City.

Now they'll face the white team with Girona, so it seems to be an almost finalized deal. Still, it'll be a very interesting match-up where we'll see the potential of these players, and maybe in the future, joining the club could be considered.

Scouts will be watching

What is clear is that Madridist scouts will be much closer to these footballers and their talents to follow them closely. This is a perfect opportunity for them to strike a decisive blow to City when the right time comes.
