By Santos’ season has fared worse than anticipated. The team was disqualified from all competitions, including the Sudamericana and Copa do Brasil. And so, the board dismissed coach Odair Hellmann.
Under the direction of Paulo Turra, Peixe is still looking for fresh players to add to the roster. Alvinegro, though, gets ready for other players to go.
The first person in the queue is the 18-year-old English striker Ngelo Gabriel, who was transferred to Chelsea for nearly 15 million euros (about R$ 79.5 million).
Striker Marcos Leonardo, who is 20 years old, is another gem. The athlete, who distinguished himself while competing for Brazil’s under-20 squad internationally, should be sold during this transfer window. Lazio of Italy is the side most likely to make an offer of up to 18 million euros (BRL 95.4 million) to acquire the athlete.
Since he hasn’t had many opportunities and might be moved, striker Lucas Braga should be another player to depart Villa Belmiro. Numerous clubs from the United States, including Vasco, Fortaleza, and Chicago Fire, are interested.
The same is true for defender Luiz Felipe, who desires more playing time. The defender only participated in two games before asking to leave Santos. His signing would be of interest to Ceará and Coritiba.
The laterals are two more from a single place that ought to go. The Pires brothers, Nathan and Lucas, who have not been doing well, were discovered partying early last Tuesday (27). The So Paulo squad published a statement in which it expressed its desire to hear bids for the players.
