This Thursday, Porto faced competition from PSG and Nottingham Forest in the race for the prodigy Riquelme Phillipi (Palmeiras striker), who is only 17 years old.
The Dragons had already noticed this and were preparing to move on to sign the young striker, one of the top prospects in Brazilian football who plays for Palmeiras’ U20 team.
In Brazil they are already saying that the English club has made an offer of 5 million euros, but Verdao is now waiting for a reaction from PSG and Porto.
A situation that is sure to inflate the price of a striker who scored 10 goals in the 20 games he featured in last season.
The management of Andre Villas-Boas, faced with financial problems inherited from the management of Pinto da Costa, is keen to recruit young talent to make them profitable and make an important financial contribution in the future. Moreover, with the departure of Taremi (Inter Milan) and the possibility of Evanilson and Galeno leaving this close season, the youngster is seen as a good alternative.
