Santos Futebol Clube received a €15m bid from Tottenham for João Victor Souza. The left-back is considered one of the main assets of the squad and has been observed by European giants. The Santos board agrees with the values, but is still negotiating clauses such as a percentage of future sale and division of economic rights. João Victor Souza has a contract with Santos until the end of 2028 and has played 39 games, scoring one goal and providing four assists for the main team. The player was a starter in the last season and played 30 games, scoring one goal and contributing with two assists. Before Tottenham's move, clubs like Barcelona and Bayern Munich had already monitored the situation of the left-back. The €15m figure corresponds to an amount previously agreed upon in the last contract renewal as a minimum reference for negotiations. Santos owns 75% of the player's economic rights and, in the discussed model, the player's representatives would receive 10% commission. With this, the Brazilian club would be entitled to approximately €10.1m net, something around R$63.5m. João Victor Souza is treated internally as one of the main assets of the squad and has been observed by European giants. The player has played for the youth teams and participated in the 2023 Under-17 World Cup. Santos is seeking to secure a percentage of a future sale and is analyzing the next steps to define the outcome of the possible transfer. Moving forward with the negotiation, the Brazilian club is calm, as João Victor Souza's contract runs until the end of 2028. Santos has room to negotiate with tranquility and seek the best sporting and financial scenario before making a decision about the young player's future. The left-back continues to train normally under the command of Juan Pablo Vojvoda, while the Peixe analyzes the next steps to define the outcome of the possible transfer. The player did not appear on the list of related players for the morning activity on Wednesday, which increased the expectation around the outcome of the negotiation. But the club is focused on getting the best deal. So, the negotiation is still ongoing. The Santos board is working to get the best possible outcome for the club.
