Part 3/7:
While Wendel’s commitment to join São Paulo seems assured, the club faces a critical step: the player's release from FC Porto. Concerns expressed by fans regarding this process are valid; however, it is believed that Porto will not impede this transfer. According to reports, the Porto management, including coach André Villas-Boas, has acknowledged the negotiations and is willing to facilitate Wendel's departure.
The negotiation landscape remains complex; São Paulo's financial structure, particularly their expenditures mandated by a financial fund, poses a challenge. The club has a substantial budget of R$ 350 million to navigate but will ultimately need to allocate funds to secure Wendel’s transfer without jeopardizing their core football operations.
