THE Spaniard was asked to give his thoughts on the amount Real Madrid will play for the youngster, and he turned to irony.
Real Madrid announced the signing of the 16-year-old Brazilian talent, who will arrive in the Spanish capital when he turns 18. Madrid will pay around 45 million euros for the teenager.
‘It is not easy to sign. Real Madrid have bought a 16-year-old player for 46 million euros. You can imagine the state of the market. It will be hard’, Guardiola stated at a press conference.
With the media left confused by the answer, the Spanish manager ironically reiterated: ‘A Brazilian boy is going to play for Real Madrid for 46 million euros, 16 years old, that’s the market today. Very good’.
