Pedro Mendes, a 21-year-old forward who is not part of Rúben Amorim’s plans for next season, planned to travel to Almería yesterday, but ended up staying in Lisbon, according to Sporting’s decision.
Indeed, the player and the clubs had already arranged everything so that Pedro Mendes could represent the club of the Spanish 2nd Division next season on loan (the Spanish would still have a purchase option set at € 8 million), but the process suffered a setback because the Lector’s English, who have been interested in the player for a long time, returned to the field and bet all the chips, since they will have presented a bid twice as high as Almería to guarantee the transfer of the player. And that was what the Reading Chronicle reported yesterday, adding that the negotiations, which it said were “advanced”, were being led by businessman Jorge Mendes.
It is true that yesterday the young forward was expected in Almería, but he ended up without traveling, and this whole situation also caused some outrage in the Spanish club, which had everything prepared to receive the footballer.
