Brazilian forward Gio Queiroz is already in London to sign for Arsenal Women, according to reports.
Catalan outlet Sport writes that the player left Barcelona and took a flight to England on Tuesday evening. Today, she’s set to have her medical and sign her contract with the Gunners.
Queiroz is switching the Camp Nou side for Arsenal on a permanent transfer. Still, she’s not expected to have an immediate chance at the London side, since she’s now being sent to Everton on a loan spell until the end of the season.
Sport writes that both Barcelona and the player wanted the departure. She had previously filed a complaint for ‘extra sports’ reasons, with the outlet’s sources denying her claims, and both parties wanted a ‘solution’ for her situation.
Brazilian outlet Globo Esporte also reported Gio Queiroz’s move to Arsenal this week.
Unlike the Catalan media, they make bigger explanations of her situation at Barça, recalling that she ‘denounced the technical commission for moral harassment in a public letter’ and got punished by being sent to their second team, besides the ‘illegal confinement’ to stop her from joining the national team.
So the 19-year-old, who’s seen as one of Brazil’s biggest prospects, now follows her career at Arsenal, or should we say Everton, at least for the remainder of the season.
