Shakhtar Donetsk does not accept, for now, going much beyond the threshold of 15 million euros to guarantee Pedrinho’s competition with Benfica and the SAD of the Luz club also does not consider, for now, doing a deal around the talented international 23-year-old Brazilian Olympian who means receiving less than the 18 million euros he agreed to pay Corinthians in six installments and which has already had the first payment.
And it was around this phased payment of the eagles to Corinthians that the formula used by the Ukrainian club to try to hire Pedrinho in the negotiations that took place the day before yesterday at Seixal, with president Luís Filipe Vieira, and with Portuguese José Boto, formerly chief scout Benfica and today a fundamental element in the structure of the Ukrainian emblem.
Shakthar will have been available to pay the remaining five installments that will complete Benfica’s payment to Corinthians, that is, it has offered to take over the Clube da Luz debt to the Brazilian emblem in the amount of 15 million of euros.
But, there should and should be, this formula leaves the incarnates to lose, an understanding that, naturally, Shakhtar do not have, considering that the Luz club enjoyed Pedrinho for a time and knowing perfectly well that Benfica is the main interested in undoing up from the player.
Even so, the reds went even further in their pretensions and even proposed a deal with a global value exceeding 20 million euros, between transfer and bonus for goals, an amount that the Ukrainian club was also not available to achieve, as it does not intend, at this point, go well beyond that €15 million – and the eagles don’t admit less than €18 million.
