He's just turned 23. However, I wouldn't say he's unknown, as I've been hearing really great things about Rolin over the past year amongst many journalists who follow South American football and he sounds like a massive talent. Unfortunately I didn't really see much of Uruguay in the Olympics to get any ideas about him, plus they were really bad anyway.
I did see his name linked to us the other day at Milannews, which is why I presume Elmago asked about him. Also, you'll be disappointed to hear that we've also been linked to Bruno Uvini in the past few weeks.
I never heard of this guy until yesterday... and nowadays in Brazil, any south american playing anything near good, automatically get the attention of Brazilian clubs and media purchase wise. It´s nothing definitive, but I find strange the lack of hype about him in Brazil. Uruguay has a gem that I hope we keep an eye, but is a under-20 CB... Anyway, I will try to catch anything about this Rolin guy.
Btw, the journalist is Vickery? Like I said before, I really like his column in BBC(like the last one) and his segment in a Brazilian TV, but in the majority of the time I completely disagree with his judgement of players. The only time I agreed with Tim was in his Ganso evaluation... and he did it against all the media frenzy in Brazil. Now, Vickery is being proved right...
Regarding Bruno Uvini, I hope it´s not a serious link but just a fabricated rumor because of Milan/Brazil link. If he wasn´t a product of Sao Paulo academy, there´s no way he would be in Brazil NT, and much less linked to Milan. Roque Junior situation all over again if true...
