“I like Real. If there was an opportunity, I would do it with pleasure,” confessed the renowned representative Wagner Ribeiro; and the interest of Barcelona?
Six months ago, there was no talk of anything else in Brazil. Eric Abidal’s presence in Rio de Janeiro raised expectations and the Brazilian media speculated on FC Barcelona’s interest in various players. One of them was Igor Gomes, an international U-20 midfielder with a contract until 2023 and whose agent now wants to take him to Real Madrid. This has been admitted by the footballer’s own representative.
Gomes is a midfielder, game organizer and likes to act behind the tips. Without a doubt, one of the Brazilian players of the future and about whom there are very good reports. He is barely 21 years old, but he is already becoming an important player for his team.
His representation is in charge of Wagner Ribeiro, the agent who took Robinho to Real Madrid in his day and who was also linked to the operations with Neymar. In July, Sao Paulo rejected an offer for him from a European team, the identity of which was never disclosed. He has a contract until March 2023. Some compare him, due to his style of play and his physical resemblance, with Kaka.
In a statement to Fox Sports, Ribeiro, his agent, admitted that he wants to dress him in white. “I have been working with Igor since he was 12 years old, he is on the radar of all the great clubs in Europe. He was a starter in São Paulo, yes, he is a different player, he has the performance that Europeans like: brand, weapon played, goals scored, assists… He is a complete player. There was talk that Madrid loved him and I said that it was not the time to speak. I have a dream to take him one day to Real Madrid. I like Real. If there was an opportunity, I would do it with pleasure, ”he confessed.
Wagner Ribeiro is an institution in the world of agents. He has participated in hundreds of signings as a team from around the world, including Kaká, Robinho, Lucas Moura, Gabigol and even Neymar in its beginnings, something that has long ceased to be.
It should be remembered that Ribeiro has a close relationship with Florentino Pérez, president of Real Madrid. “My admiration for this man, my idol, my friend, my PRESI,” he wrote last year, for example, when the agent made public an encounter with Florentino at ACS headquarters. In fact, a few hours ago he recognized that Neymar is Florentino’s dream.
