Gremio prepared to sell Brazil U23 forward Pepe if price is right

Rio de Janeiro: Gremio could be forced to sell Brazil under-23 forward Pepe as they grapple with the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic, according to club vice president Paulo Luz.

Pepe has reportedly attracted interest from Spanish clubs Sevilla and Valladolid, though Gremio said a firm offer has not yet been made for the 23-year-old, writes Xinhua news agency.

“The financial situation for all Brazilian clubs is going to be very serious,” Luz told Radio Bandeirantes. “We’re losing revenue every day. As a fan, I don’t want him (Pepe) to leave. But as a director and, aware of our responsibilities, if we receive a financially attractive proposal it will be considered.” IANS
