Claudio Bravo is one of the promises of Argentina for the next few years. The young player who currently plays at Banfield reached an agreement with the Portland Timbers to become a new player as of December in exchange for $ 2 million for a half of his transfer.It is estimated that if Bravo has a good performance it could be worth up to 15 million dollars.

Currently Bravo is not part of the Argentine national team but he is part of the under 23 with which he has won several trophies at the continental level. It's a great bet on the part of the Portland Timbers as he is considered the best left defender of the future.

In Portland Timbers, Bravo will share a team with other Argentines, one of them Diego Valeri, who is precisely a former player of Lanus, Banfield's rival team. While it didn't cost that much money, the Portland Timbers only got 50% of the player's possession.

At 23, Bravo was summoned to play the 2020 Tokyo Olympics but due to his postponement he does not know if he will be able to take part. He is a great player who will surely do very well in MLS and he is another Argentine who chooses MLS again to continue his sports career.
