Anderlecht is thinking of Brazilian Rossi

TRANSFERS According to Portuguese A Bola Anderlecht shows interest in Raphael Rossi Branco. This 27-year-old defender has just finished a strong first season with Boavista. According to A Bola, Anderlecht's interest may soon lead to a concrete offer.


At the age of 21, Raphael exchanged Brazil for Brighton, which had just been promoted to the English second divison. He did not play there for a minute and a year later he went to Whitehawk, a small club in the neighborhood. There he got a transfer to Swindon in the English third division. Raphael had four successful years at Swindon.

Last summer, the Brazilian exchanged England for Portugal and at Boavista he immediately conquered a place in the starting eleven. He played thirty games last season and did not miss a minute. He scored three times. Raphael takes a lot of cards. Over the past four seasons, he collected 44 yellow cards in 130 matches. He got red twice.
