Brazilian’s move to Watford still labelled as ‘possible’ – Transfer amount is ‘necessary’ for selling club

Even though the Brazilian media hasn’t been bringing much news regarding Watford’s interest in Fluminense’s Matheus Martins, the possibility of this transfer is still being considered at the Rio de Janeiro side.

Extra features a story about the Brazilian club’s financial situation, and when speaking of the money that could still be about to come, they point out a couple of sales.

There, they mention that Luis Henrique’s move to Real Betis and the ‘possible departure’ of Matheus Martins to Watford are ‘necessary’ for the club to balance their accounts.

It was earlier this month that it was reported in Brazil that there was an ‘expectation’ that the Hornets would bid around €8m for the winger. The Vicarage Road side became interested following a long time chase from Udinese, who also belong to the Pozzo family.

Watford seem to be on the verge of losing João Pedro to Newcastle United, and could find his replacement at his former club, with whom the relationship has been good since the transfer of Richarlison. Plus with Fluminense having this need for money, an attractive opportunity may end up being found.
