Casting parts transfers to Europe always yield income for Brazilian clubs. The sale of players from the base categories has an even more significant value, since, when clubs hold a percentage of the pass rights of a certain athlete, the conversion of foreign currencies such as the dollar and the euro can be very advantageous for the national teams.
In the case of Fluminense Football Club, the resale of a prominent former striker from the base categories could fit like a glove in the current moment of Tricolor. With interest from Premier League clubs, João Pedro Junqueira de Jesus, is being probed by other clubs in Europe who view the striker’s performance with good eyes.
Born in the city of Ribeirão Preto, at the age of 21, João Pedro is the main name of Watford, an English team that currently competes in the second division of the British league EFL (English Football League Championship). Ex-Fluminense, the young man is in the sights of European giants and, if he is resold by Watford, he could earn a lot of money for Tricolor.
Child of Xerém, João Pedro was considered one of the great jewels of Fluminense in 2019. At that time, the 17-year-old teenager was already emerging as one of the great promises of Tricolor. In the same year, he became a professional and, right away, started scoring goals. It didn’t take long for the athlete to attract attention from Europe. Still in 2019, João Pedro was negotiated with Watford for 11.5 million euros (about 60 million reais) until 2022. Last year (2022), the English decided to renew João Pedro for another 6 years and the athlete agreed .
With a contract signed until June 2028, the largest share of the rights of the star is in the hands of Watford, however, if there is a resale, Fluminense still holds 10% of ‘additional value’ rights in the transaction. In this way, if it is resold to a third club, the appropriate percentage will be allocated to Tricolor’s coffers. Information about a possible Milan poll appeared on social media this Friday (23) through journalist Fabrizio Romano.

According to Romano, who had access to the speech of Cristiano Giaretta, director responsible for Watford, published the following lines: “I can say that it has a price of ‘England’, great”, said Giaretta to TMW (British newspaper). Still on the player’s situation with the club and possible proposals from other European giants, the director concluded: “Milan? We have not received proposals from Italy. He has many admirers in the Premier League, but he is 110% focused on our preparation for the playoffs” .
