Probably something in it if he's reporting it. Sounds like a quality signing even if a bit pricey but I think GON will want to sure up the defence and then build from there.
Hopefully he knows a few players in the French league after his half-season there.

Coaching in France will have been a big help to us in that market. A lot of the world’s best players are also coming out of France. A Brazilian international linked with us. These are the days.

One nation stands out at the other end of this exchange, a prolific supplier of talent. Some 99 French-born players – 23 with France and 76 with other squads – are at the World Cup, which is more than the combined number born in ten countries who are taking part in the tournament: only 98 were born in Curaçao, DR Congo, Morocco, Haiti, Algeria, Tunisia, Cape Verde, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Qatar and Croatia.
If France is the world’s footballing hotspot, then the heat is most intense in its capital. This tournament will feature 53 players born in Paris or its suburbs, which is more than were born across the whole of six participating nations at this World Cup. Thus almost five Parisian XIs could be formed from footballers at the tournament in North America this summer.

I think this right; regardless of whether this is a bona fides transfer target, I do think we will be playing with 3 at the back this season, so at least 1 quality new centre back will be coming in.
the last Brazilian CB to come to the Prem from Lille hasn't done too bad for himself... loving the sound of this - I'd wondered if we might have gone back in for Caceres from last summer

Why do you think we'll be playing with 3 at the back?
GON referenced his preferred formation is 4-2-3-1 in his initial presser.

Only played a few games last season maybe injured, I can't find anything and valued between 15 and 20 million euro, he looks good.
Had a pretty bad injury earlier in the season was meant to get surgery, not sure if he did or not. Came back got another smaller injury so think it was just a stop start season.
