Grêmio to sell Pepê asks for R$70 million and in January the deal could be closed

Striker Pepê is one of the highlights of Renato Portaluppi's Grêmio. It was the coach who revealed the 22-year-old adventurer and placed him in Tricolor's essential squad.

The adventurer is on the European football flag and could leave the team as early as January next year. Grêmio is going through processes of oscillation. At the end of the year, some players need to leave and more need to achieve to highlight the team for next year.

Distribution of essential players may occur. Mainly, 2 causes lead to this: the first is that there is interest from European clubs. The agreement is that with distribution, Tricolor fills its coffers and can attack new pieces.

Earlier this week, Pepê's intermediary, Adriano Spadoto, was in Italy. He met with the Roma team, a team that would be interested in the gymnast. This Wednesday, news journalist Jorge Nicola reported on Yahoo Sports that Spadoto's intention is to close the deal in January.

Negotiations are at the beginning stage, Grêmio has not been contacted either, but Tricolor promises to prevent negotiations. It is not clear that he does not intend to sell Pepê, but he actually intends to receive the full value for the gymnast's distribution.

Nowadays, the termination penalty is set at 15 million euros (around R$70 million in today's prices). Grêmio owns 70% of the young man's economic rights and would make an impressive gain in the event of distribution.

Tricolor bought the rights for R$400. Pepê's contract with Grêmio only expires in December 2022. The adventurer is expensive among the fans.
