Bobadilla breaks records, draws Europe’s eye: São Paulo may sell after Copa | OneFootball

The European market has its eyes on Bobadilla.

In the week when the Paraguayan midfielder broke significant records (reaching 100 matches played for São Paulo and breaking the record for the Paraguayan who played the most for the club), he sees his staff being approached by European teams interested in acquiring his football skills.

According to AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR, Brighton (England), Betis (Spain), and Como (Italy) have been in contact with Bobadilla's agents in recent weeks to seek information about the conditions of a potential deal with São Paulo.

According to the Paraguayan newspaper ‘ABC Color‘, officials from Cerro Porteño, the club where the midfielder was discovered and which still holds a percentage of his rights, are also interested in seeing him sold in the next European transfer window.

The reasons for the increased interest in Bobadilla can be justified by his own performance. Scorer of one of the goals in the victory over Bragantino in the quarter-finals of the Campeonato Paulista, he was the player in the squad with the greatest distance covered (11.2km) in total and at high intensity, that is, above 20 km/h (873 meters).

São Paulo is observing the situation calmly. They say nothing official has reached them so far and are counting on the World Cup for Bobadilla's appreciation. The player will likely compete in the tournament in the middle of the year for his country's national team. And an increase in value is expected.

In Bobadilla's case specifically, the highest offer becomes essential for the Morumbi club to achieve a good profit. São Paulo paid R$ 10 million for 60% of the rights to sign him at the beginning of 2024.
