Rafinha’s intransigence caused Barcelona to fall and led Todibo to rival Benfica. Leite gives security to Sérgio Conceição and Sarr adds versatility and has no costs beyond salaries
The crazy Sunday had a sequence at FC Porto with an equally busy Monday, but less lavish in news. The greatest of all ends up being the continuity of Diogo Leite in the workforce, who closes the door to some agreements and ends up giving a different framework to this final section of the market.
Abroad, yesterday Monday the transfer window in the main countries closed. In Portugal it only ends today, Tuesday, the day when Malang Sarr should be made official as reinforcement of the dragon. The Frenchman, international at all levels up to the U21s, will be in Porto this morning.
If everything goes according to what was previously agreed, then take medical examinations, record a loan for a year and talk to the club’s media, after yesterday announcing the following. “I go out to play, improve and come back next year to play for Chelsea,” he said in a statement to Telfoot.
The side / center can even close the rear section of the Porto. And it is that Diogo Leite will continue in the staff. All the last minute solutions that were presented to the player did not interest FC Porto, who was willing to sell him, because it was not the first option, but not at any price, because Sérgio Conceição continues to trust him and, staying, that it would never be a burden on the coach or the roster. A situation quite different from that of Diogo Queirós, for example, with whom the technician did not really have.
Thus, and because the power plant market did not contribute anything that, at first, Sérgio Conceição was very enthusiastic about, the permanence of Diogo Leite ends up giving a certain tranquility. Pepe and Mbemba remain in the starting lineup, Marcano is injured, but Diogo ensures quality as an alternative. For SAD, the possibility of reaching an agreement that at some point was estimated at 20 million euros has collapsed.
Valencia never had the liquidity to advance, despite the interest, Barcelona planned to reinforce itself with the Portuguese and there were even early meetings with Jorge Mendes for that purpose, as THE GAME was held yesterday. But Rafinha’s intransigence toppled an agreement that also involved Todibo, who in the meantime remained on loan to Benfica.
With these plays, Nanu and Manafá will close the right side, with doubts about the role that is now saved for Carraça. Zaidu is the only left-back, Pepe, Mbemba and Diogo Leite are central and Malang Sarr will be for both positions. This until Marcano recovered …
Lucas Veríssimo in the hot seat, Rose in the equation
After all, FC Porto have eight defenders for four places, but three of them are right-backs. There is, therefore, a vacancy that can be filled if the last day of the market brings a business that is sufficiently attractive and according to the possibilities of the club.
Yesterday, Monday, information circulated that the dragons had proposed by Lucas Veríssimo, from Santos. The center-back was being negotiated by Benfica, he fell just before the Porto rival formalized the arrival of Todibo and Lucas was immediately appointed to FC Porto. In Brazil they guarantee that the dragons’ proposal is 6.5 million euros, with Santos retaining 15% of the player’s pass. GAME knows that Lucas has already offered himself to FC Porto on more than one occasion and the club has never made decisive progress in this process, so only the last minute need could bring him.
In addition to Lucas, yesterday there was talk of Danny Rose, a 30-year-old left-back who, not long ago, was the starter for Tottenham and England. Last season ended in Newcastle, for not telling José Mourinho. Now, with just one more year on his contract, the “spurs” want to get rid of him. FC Porto was identified as a likely destination, despite the five million euros the player earns per year. The negotiation would always mean that Tottenham helped with the payment and there is not much time left. To be confirmed today, although most likely Sarr and Leite will close the dragon defense.
