Sheffield Wednesday remain interested in Frederico Venancio despite giving up their option to sign the player this summer, reports O Jogo on Sunday.
The Portuguese newspaper explain that after having the defender on loan last season, the Yorkshire club have been considering signing him from Vitoria Setubal on a permanent basis.
Whilst they had a clause to buy Venancio, it’s reported that Sheffield Wednesday didn’t like the conditions and would look to get a better deal.
But O Jogo believe they won’t be alone. Venancio must have left an impression on some in English football, because there’s said to be other Championship clubs also keen on making the signing.
Setubal have been contacted by more than one other club from England’s second tier, 
although the identity of those interested isn’t shared by O Jogo.
