Roberto Carlos admits Anzhi Makhachkala keen to invite Sao Paolo’s Lucas Silva and Santos FC’s Paulo Ganso to the Russian Premier League.
With news suggesting that Russian national football team coach, Guus Hiddink, is on his way to Anzhi Makhachkala, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-Carlos-c31317, the acting head coach, has assured the fans of possible winter transfer targets: Santos FC midfielder,
Paulo Ganso, and Sao Paolo FC midfielder, Lucas Silva.
Following Suleyman Kerimov's takeover as the club president, the Dagestani club saw the arrival of quality players. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aleksei-Ivanov-c4646 all joined the ambitious side.
However, it seemed too little for the Russian billionaire, who invested further to sign Samuel Eto’o and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan, respectively - for a collective fee of 43 million Euros.
Carlos has revealed that the Dagestani club, backed by Kerimov, have all the attributes to become a threat for the European teams in the near future, insisting that Anzhi can claim a European spot this season.
Anzhi have had a brilliant season so far, which has seen them claim a mid table spot at the end of the second league round. However, lack of talented midfielders has forced them seek attractive options in the upcoming transfer
market.
To alter the situation, the Brazilian national has now himself admitted that Anzhi are keeping tabs on Lucas and Ganso as solution to their midfield woes.
“We will try to get to Ganso and Lucas Silva” the Turkish Super Cup winner was quoted as saying.

On the other hand, Ganso has been phenomenal for Santos and is regarded as one of the finest Brazilian talents at the moment. His rich form has seen him bag 10 goals in 57 appearances for Alvinegro Praiano.
However, it will be difficult for the Dagestani club to convince the star duo, which will cost them around 80 million Euros, without UEFA Champions League football to offer.
