Earlier on Monday, we covered some breaking news from Brazil that AS Monaco had joined the race to sign Vanderson.
The Gremio full-back looked like a shoe in to sign for Brentford FC in the upcoming transfer window, but the principality side have since overtaken them.
In fact, it appears the Bees have simply lost out to the Ligue 1 club, with Le10 Sport claiming the defender ‘has chosen’ AS Monaco.
The belief is that Vanderson will move to the principality and sign a four and a half year deal, with the transfer not €14m like Globo claimed, but €12m.
A kick in the teeth for Thomas Frank’s side, who genuinely seemed on the verge of signing the Brazilian a few days ago or so.
