Let's just hope he stays healthy, not just physically, but more importantly, mentally.

Good thing is he will train with Ronaldo.

Bad thing is that he will hang out with Dybala.

Then why was only Benfica and Milan the only teams that seemed interested in him?

Very strange but I'm glad we got him as there's basically minimal risk involved.
Benfica being interested is good enough. They have by far the biggest revenue from transfers in Europe in last 10 years.

the only reason we got him is that we needed to pay tribute to his agent and those 5mil to Santos.
We could get him for free by x-mas, but his agent promised Santos 10mil, so 5mil now, plus 5% of a future sale should be enough for them and of course an undisclosed agent fee and the player's salary.
Usually we splash about 15mil on similar deals, but it was a difficult moment financially...

I could make a giant text about brazilians that european scouts (of greatest leagues) failed in see.

But just to give a example: Douglas Costa when bought from Brazil was disputed only by ucranian and russian teams.
