Wendel looks to be on his way out of FC Porto as he talks with São Paulo. The Brazilian team wants him badly for next season, and Porto seems fine with letting him go which works out good for everyone involved.
- Wendel doesn’t fit in FC Porto’s plans anymore
- São Paulo really wants Wendel for next season
- Wendel says he’ll take less money to play at São Paulo
Wendel’s Current Situation at FC Porto
FC Porto has made up their mind about Wendel da Silva Costa and don’t want him no more. Like André Hernan said in his tweet, the club isn’t stopping him from leaving. The 24-year-old forward barely got to play this season just 47 minutes total. Since his contract’s almost done anyway it’s a good time for him to move on.
