Faced with the resistance from Grêmio de Porto Alegre to Pepê’s immediate departure, FC Porto recovered plan B that had fallen on Monday and reached an agreement with West Ham for the transfer of Felipe Anderson, twice Brazilian international.
The reinforcement is registered this Tuesday against the central Sarr, this one contributed by Chelsea.
Sérgio Conceição wanted Pepê at all costs, and SAD pushed for that to happen. However, without time to expand the negotiations with Grêmio, FC Porto even overtook Felipe Anderson. West Ham pays half the player’s salary.
Trained at Santos, the 27-year-old winger played for Lazio where he won the Italian Super Cup in 2017. West Ham invested 38 million euros, with sports bonuses, in his signing.
Despite a good first season in England, little by little he was losing space. At FC Porto he hopes to have more playing time. The assignment does not include a purchase option.
An important part of the change was agent Giuliano Bertolucci, who in addition to representing Felipe Anderson also manages Pepê’s career. The businessman found an alternative to the immediate one while looking for a bridge of understanding for Pepê to arrive at FC Porto in January.
