San Paolo refuses to take the rival striker

San Paolo defined his posture in the transfers market by refusing the intake of Kervin Andrade, striker of Fortaleza. The 20 -year -old Venezuelan was offered to the club by its representatives and the name should have been analyzed by the coach Hernán Crespo. However, the tricolor board has chosen not to advance in conversations, ending the subject definitively.




The decision was made after a short internal discussion. Although the athlete was evaluated preliminarily, the technical staff did not require further analyzes. According to the information collected, the club includes that the location is already well filled in the current team, which has not made investments in new names to the offensive sector not possible.

Hired by Fortaleza in 2023 for about $ 600,000, Kervin was highlighted at the beginning of his career at the Northeastern Club. He was summoned to the Venezuelan team, but has lost space throughout 2025. Currently, he seeks a new destination, both in Brazilian football and in a possible transfer abroad.

In this season, the striker played 12 games, with a goal and assistance. Already in 2024, he had a more expressive number, scoring seven goals and providing five assists in 35 games. It is estimated that its market value is at the home of $ 6 million, equivalent to approximately $ 32 million.

Given the difficulty of a definitive negotiation, Fortaleza would be willing to discuss a loan with the purchase option. However, the lack of interest of St. Paul frustrated this possibility. Other Brazilian clubs, such as Atletico-Go, Cricheúma and Goiás, as well as football teams of the Major League, such as Austin FC, have emerged as possible interested parties.

The negative tricolor reveals a more cautious guideline to the mid -year transfer window. The intention of the football department, apparently, is to maintain the base of the cast and bet on punctual reinforcements, only when it is necessary to identify by the coach.

According to the journalist Jorge Nicola, the name of Kervin was discussed pending an Argentine coach. “However, the decision of the Board of Directors was not to go on, understanding that the position is well served in the current cast or that well -being costs it does not justify it.”

Therefore, the striker continues on the market waiting for a new opportunity. Without space in Fortaleza and with San Paolo outside the dispute, it is now letting follow what will be the next chapter of his career.
