Part 3/6:
Though the transaction of William Gomes sparked controversy, it's important to analyze its potential implications. On one side, some eyebrows have been raised regarding the timing and conditions of the deal. Some analysts feel that São Paulo could have secured a better deal had they waited until the middle of the year when clubs are more financially equipped.
There’s a prevailing sentiment among fans and pundits alike that selling up now may not be in the club's best interest. As pointed out, the first half of the year usually involves the Campeonato Paulista, while the Brazilian league experiences a hiatus, providing a window for players like Gomes to gain experience.
