For some time, goalkeeper João Paulo has attracted the interest of clubs that probed the possibility of removing the goalkeeper from Vila Belmiro. Recently, Grêmio even opened consultations with Alvinegro Praiano to be aware of the situation of the goalkeeper in Peixe. Although he had not presented a proposal, the gauchos were getting ready to go ahead with the negotiations.

However, the departure of João Paulo is no longer a possibility. According to the portal Diário do Peixe, this Tuesday (29), the representatives of the goalkeeper and the board of Santos met and sealed an agreement that keeps the player in the club’s squad. The decision pleased Diniz, who signaled his interest in staying with the athlete, worried about John’s injury. In Vila, the open dispute for the position is something considered interesting.
Last season, João Paulo was close to leaving the club, and Peixe extended the goalkeeper’s contract until September 2025. With a fine of 100 million euros (BRL 625 million), the archer was targeted by Ajax, from Holland, and Udinese, from Italy.
That defense by João Paulo in Ferreirinha’s submission was sensational.

The stay of João Paulo confirmed by João Paulo happens in the same week that Peixe broke his contractual relationship with goalkeeper Vladimir, who played 14 years in the Alvinegro Praiano shirt. Interestingly, Grêmio also probed Vladimir’s situation, but the conversations did not progress either. Vladimir can close a deal with Avaí.
