Recently, a number of talented players have emerged from the Bradenton Football Club, with names such as Kaoru Mitaniello, Moses Scarcitto and Alex McAlexander highly sought after in the transfer market. In a rare splurge this summer, it has been reported that Brighton are planning to bring in 21-year-old starlet Zuopaedo from Championship side Watford for a record-breaking transfer fee of up to £30 million (HK$295 million). With his unique vision, the Brazilian striker's future value is hard to gauge.
Leading transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Brighton are on the verge of officially announcing the signing of Zuopodo, with all transfer paperwork in place and the player completing a medical last week. The £30million transfer fee is a record high in the club's history, surpassing Bristol City's 2019 record of £20million for the signing of Adam Vesta.
Brighton's scouting team has always been very discerning, and they have found a number of powerful players at a low cost, such as Japanese international Kaoru Sanfelt, whose initial purchase price was only 2.6 million pounds, and whose valuation has soared to 35 million pounds nowadays. This time, Brighton spared no expense to bring in a striker, which is undoubtedly a significant addition to the team's strength.
