The clause is € 45M, but it would come out for a thirdDespite this, whoever was a member of the Dream team Barca has now emerged a decisive ally: time. Marcos Paulo has a contract until 2021 and, with several girlfriends in Europe, he does not plan to renew. Consequently, Fluminense is going against the clock: he has to agree a transfer as soon as possible so as not to lose it for free in just over a year. In the Flu they value therefore the importance of taking advantage of an operation of this type, which could be closed for 15 million (the clause is 45) that would revitalize its coffers.Born in Brazil, Marcos Paulo has opted to play with Portugal, where is his maternal grandfather, which makes him more interesting to have a European passport and not occupy an extra-community place.

Then she saw the player’s family, who was very excited about the proposed project. Bakero, however, It could only offer 5 million euros, an insufficient figure for Fluminense, which has come to reject 8 of the RB Bragantino, owned by the Red Bull, which would then make the boy jump to Leipzig or Salzburg. read more
