Santos bets on the sale of a starter to strengthen the squad at the window


Peixe occupies second place in Serie B, with 25 points

The probable sale of Joaquim will be essential for Santos to strengthen the squad in view of the continuation of the Série B of the Brasileirão. The defender is attracting the interest of several clubs and should be sold by the Juventus management in this transfer window.




Owner of 80% of the player’s economic rights, Santos is asking for 10 million euros for the transfer. Consequently, if the transaction were confirmed, Peixe would receive approximately R$ 47 million and could strengthen the group led by Fábio Carille.

News coming soon

After the injury of João Paulo, out of season with a left ankle injury, the club is looking for a name to compete for a place with Gabriel Brazão and has advanced talks with goalkeeper Renan, currently at Juventude and who belongs to Sport. The goalkeeper can terminate his contract in the coming days and arrive for free.

Another rumored reinforcement is that of striker Billy Arce, free on the market after leaving Once Caldas-COL. The player was offered to the management of Santos, who will only have to pay the salary of the 26-year-old Ecuadorian.

The only official offer came from Mexican football

Tigres, from Mexico, was the only team to have sent an official offer for the 25-year-old defender. However, the offer was rejected by Peixe’s management, who did not accept the values ​​offered.

Despite the interest in negotiating the athlete, Peixe is aware of the interest of several clubs for the player and intends to create an “auction” to reach the requested value: 10 million euros.

Joaquim’s departure would provide relief to Santos’ cash flow

After failing to negotiate the player in January, the board is determined to sell Joaquim. Santos intends to lighten the salary bill with the departure and use the amount to strengthen the squad in the transfer window. In recent days, Peixe has arranged the departures of Zabala and Baliero. Paulo Mazoti, Derick, Balão, Kevin Malthus, Rafael Moreira and Bruno Marques are also expected to leave. Although he is available for the rest of the season, João Basso could also leave.

Suffocated by poor Serie B revenue, these departures would give Santos the opportunity to focus on needy positions in the squad. The team also recently agreed to the departures of Nonato and Cazares.
