I don't know nothing about him,but guys who saw him playing are saying great things for him,according to Mark, he his great in defense ,good in offense , good crosses (not great) , likes to tackle , he was 2nd player in CHL with most completed tackles , so he is best LB we could get , it seems Juve paid 22m for him , his clause was 50m , but since he had only 1 year left on his contract ,Porto agreed to sell him for "only" 22m 
Pippo Russo : The Brazilian is preparing to be the new Juventus left-back , and arrives in Turin as second choice after vain attempts to take Siqueira from Atletico Madrid .

When analyzing Portos last season you could see how much they benefit from both their fullbacks. Sandro and Danilo were top class. Now Real bought Danilo and we got Sandro. I can't tell who's the better, and I haven't seen much of Sandro.
Sandro refused to extend his Porto contract and so Porto had to sell him now as they'd avoid losing him for nothing. This basicly means we've made a good signing as I believe a Sandro with multiple years left of his contract could have been valued the same as Danilo who joined Real for €31.5m. Having paid €20m + €5m potential bonuses I think it's a good deal. Pricey for a leftback, but considering Sandro is 24 and top level, it's a solution that could ensure this position for the next 6-7 years. Lichtsteiner is 31 right now, Sandro will have a lot of years left at top level.
