America’s football director, Fred Cascardo revealed details of the negotiation with Bragantino for Pedrinho’s stay
America’s football director, Fred Cascardo explained the negotiations for Pedrinho’s stay at the club. In an interview this Thursday (9/8), the manager confirmed that Coelho talked to Red Bull Bragantino, but was unable to match the proposal from Lokomotiv Moscow, from Russia, for the striker.
According to Fred, America tried to establish fixed values when hiring the 22-year-old player on a loan, something that was denied by the São Paulo club. On Tuesday afternoon, Bragantino communicated Lokomotiv’s proposal so that Coelho could match the values.
“We got together as soon as we received it and evaluated the possibility of Pedrinho’s stay. We made contact with Bragantino again and, also yesterday afternoon, we had a meeting with Thiago Scuro (Bragantino’s football director, who was in Belo Horizonte) and we made a proposal for Pedrinho to stay. This proposal was a purchase right of 50% of the purchase of Pedrinho’s pass”, explained Fred.
“Their interest was the sale of 100% of Pedrinho’s rights. From that, we obtained the right to receive a window fee for his stay yesterday afternoon”, explained Fred.
The striker leaves Coelho as one of the team’s highlights of the season. The team’s top scorer in 2022, he scored eight goals and provided three assists in 34 games.
