Transfer progress is reportedly being made for Wolverhampton Wanderers and Everton before the January window, with both clubs expressing interest in signing Santos wonderkid João Pedro Chermont. The 18-year-old right-back has been a standout player for Santos since their relegation to the Brazilian second tier, contributing two goals and three assists in 25 appearances in 2024 so far.
Chermont’s impressive performances have drawn attention from Premier League clubs, with Wolves, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Everton all closely monitoring his progress. Reports suggest that all four teams have opened talks with Santos to discuss a potential transfer to England.
Santos is said to be willing to listen to offers for Chermont, especially considering the financial implications of their drop to Serie B. With a reported release clause of £58 million, Chermont could potentially be available for a lower price. However, the exact asking price remains unknown until an official enquiry or offer is made by potential suitors like Wolves.
Despite Wolves’ current struggles, the presence of several Brazilian players at the club could work in their favor when attracting Chermont’s attention. The likes of André, Pedro Lima, João Gomes, and Matheus Cunha have all joined Wolves in previous transfer windows, creating a Brazilian contingent that could potentially make Chermont feel more at home if he were to make the move to England.
