Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Chelsea should’ve perhaps moved for Evanilson a little sooner.
With the striker making his first appearance for Brazil at the weekend, the Portuguese media now claims Porto may demand a higher fee for him.
Newspaper Jornal de Notícias today features a story pointing out that it’s convenient his international debut came right before the transfer window opens.
Tottenham, Manchester United and Chelsea are labelled as the ‘sharks’ who are interested in him, and their bids could arrive soon.
Porto know that Evanilson is one of the most valuable assets they have in the squad, and have him well protected with a €100m release clause.
The striker had a very good season for the Dragons, with 25 goals and seven assists in 42 appearances.
It’s been a while since Evanilson started being linked to English clubs, and this indeed seems the moment when he’ll get more expensive.
If Tottenham, Manchester United and Chelsea don’t want to see his market value going even higher, they should perhaps make a move before the Copa América kicks off this month.
