Sevilla FC’s chase for Qarabag’s striker Juninho Vieira is running into some unexpected problems even though they already had a verbal deal and medical tests planned. The Spanish club first agreed to pay €4 million plus €1 million in bonuses, but because their money is tight Vieira and his agent are putting in €1 million themselves to help make the deal happen, which shows how bad Sevilla needs to add firepower up front.
- Sevilla has a verbal deal with Juninho Vieira and got medical tests scheduled.
- Money problems mean Vieira and his agent got to put in €1 million.
- Flamengo’s offer is causing big problems for Sevilla’s plans.
Sevilla’s Transfer Problems
Sevilla’s trying to sign Juninho Vieira but it’s getting messy because of Flamengo’s big offer. The Brazilian club wants to pay more transfer money and like double what Vieira would make in salary which really shows how crazy the South American football market is getting. We’ve seen this kind of thing happen with other big transfers in that part of the world too.
You can tell Flamengo really wants to bring Vieira back to Brazil because they’re throwing a lot of money at it which could mess up what Sevilla wanted to do. This is kind of like what Corinthians did when they were trying to get some big players recently.

Flamengo’s Big Money Offer
The fight to get Vieira shows how important both clubs think he is. Flamengo’s offer isn’t just competing with Sevilla’s, it’s making Vieira think twice about going to Spain. Sevilla’s whole transfer plan including maybe getting Ruben Vargas from Augsburg, is really limited by how much money they got.
The fact Sevilla needs players like Juninho to help pay for their own transfers shows their money troubles. Meanwhile Flamengo’s going all in showing they got deep pockets and really want to make their team better.
Transfer Market Stuff
This whole thing with Juninho Vieira shows how complicated international football transfers can get. Both clubs want him bad and whatever happens could really change things for Sevilla and Flamengo. As things keep developing everyone’s gonna be watching close to see what happens next in this big transfer story.
