The media from the Island report that Leicester and Brentford are interested in the services of the Brazilian winger from Shakhtar, Tete, who is free to choose a new club due to the war in Ukraine.
The value of the Brazilian is estimated at 25 million euros, but the clubs will not have to pay a cent in compensation because foreigners from the Ukrainian and Russian leagues have been given permission to leave the clubs or to terminate contracts if they wish.
The current champion of Ukraine, Shakhtar, has as many as 12 foreigners in its ranks and currently everyone is looking for a new club and wants to leave the team. Tete is the only one who has been brought into contact with any English football team including Leicester and Brentford.
The problem is the fact that teams are not convinced that it is wise to sign a player before the end of the season. It is currently being considered that players who come from the mentioned two leagues will only be allowed to train with the new team, and the decision on the possible signing of the contract would be made in the summer. Leicester, Brentford and everyone else is currently allowed to bring in players until the beginning of April.
Tete scored 9 times in 17 league matches this season, and he also has 1 assist. The 22-year-old is presented as a very talented player. Although he trained with the national team of Brazil, so far he has not made an official appearance, while before that he played for the U23 national team.
