Ricardo Carvalho- Real Madrid to AS Monaco for free

Monaco have been very busy during the last transfer window, signing players like Falaco for over £50 million. However, one of their most important buys this summer maybe free. The French club recently signed former Chelsea defender Ricardo Carvalho from Real Madrid on a free transfer and despite his age, their is no doubting that the Portuguese centre back is still a class act. Carvalho was regarded as one of the best centre backs in the world during his time at Chelsea and it is no coincidence that they have become much more defensively suspect since he left. Monaco want to establish themselves as one of French football powerhouses, having only just been promoted back to Ligue One last season. If they are to rival Paris St Germain for the French league title then they will need a strong and resolute defensive base, which is what Carvalho will give them. Signing a player like Carvalho for free is a huge bargain for the big spending French side and was a good piece of subtle business in amongst the massive transfer fees that they have been paying to the likes of FC Porto and Atletico Madrid.
