This is not a rumour or a possible transfer, this is a 'Portugal production'. (It was... but somehow Milan seems to be interested on him, on the same day I posted this... I swear I didn't know that before. )



Here's Rafael Sobis, from Internacional of Porto Alegre, Brazil. He's probably the best brazillian foward, at the moment, with 21 years old playing in Brazil.

He scored 2 on the last week's Copa dos Libertadores final 1st leg away vs. Sao Paulo (it's the Champions League final there).

I mean. I watch a lot of Brazil's soccer and he his THAT damn good. With that age he can perfectly be a good partnership for Kaka' and Gilardino.
He's not that in-box striker that waits... he likes to go to the wings searching for the ball and that things... but he's impressive.

Here's some stuff of him:

You can search all over the web: Rafael Sobis ... you'll find a lot of good goals of this wonderful striker.

Do y'a welcome him in San Siro? What if this is the surprise? (I don't believe it... but... you never know)

He's been linked to us, I heard it today on Italia 1 (Mediaset).

sounds good...

Talk more about it... what did you EXACTLY heard ?

*EDIT*

OK, I know now. And I've talked to a brazillian friends from Sao Paulo. They already know it too.

Share it with us!

It's basically what it is on the other post. There are some Brazillian newspapers saying that Milan will try him on the next few days. (After the Libertadores final, today)

The source is the MediaSet channel Italia 1, and the brazillian media.

I've seen a few videos with him on youTube, and all I've got to say is; WOW!
Will try to catch him tonight in the Copa Libertadores as well.

It's at 1:45 AM (UK Time).

A little bit late, but it's the final, 2nd leg, and I'll watch it.

I usually watch Copa Libertadores. Sport TV broadcasts it.

I know a channel here in Sweden that broadcasts it at 2.45 local time, so it won't be a problem. The only problem is perhaps to be able to stay up for so long

Let me know how he gets on guys.. this guy has talent.

It's at like 3:45 AM in my part of the world .. Will try to watch it, if not keep the coffee coming

Hehe, 15min for the match. It starts at 2:00AM

54min... good match so far by Sobis.

In this match, he has only 1 problem. He's being marked by the best CB in South America, Diego Lugano (remember, the link Milan-Lugano some months ago?)... but he's performing good.

Still 1-1. If this ends like this, his team - Internacional - is South-American Champ.

Yeah, I saw some bits from the first half. Sobis moved well, but as you said, Lugano was sticked to his @ss all the time. Too bad the result might have been 2-0 cause Internacional hit the bar at the end of the first half.

FT: Internacional 2-2 Sao Paulo. (Total: 4-3)

Internacional of Porto Alegre (Brazil), of Sobis, is the new South-American Champion.

Wow man you're fast, I was just going to write it
Anyway, I didn't know south american football was so exciting, the last 10 minutes were fun.

I just read today on goal.com that sobis is going to join Racing Santander.

Looks like we missed out on yet another. That's three times!
Other sites mention something about it not being completely final so maybe there is still some hope.

Yes. Sobis is going to Racing. Not Milan.

Forget him - if he won't wait then I don't want him. Let him join R.Santander

I've said it many times, I don't think he didn't want Milan. It's Milan (i.e. Silvio) who didn't want him. They weren't so convinced precisely. I think we could have signed him and at least loan him somewhere, so then Berlusconi and Galliani could see what a great player he is.

ahem ... you just sounded like you hadn't watched south american football ever before (not that I'm a regular) so come you know he's great???

He joined Santander for God's sake not any great team ...

Cause I watched parts from Internacional - Sao Paolo and I saw some great talent in him, even if he didn't score in that match. Milan's correspondent in Brazil aslo said he was impressed by his play. It's a shame we couldn't manage to sign him.

Has he officially joined Santander yet?

nope
