Confusion over Santos valuation
Friday 3 July, 2009

Italian clubs like Roma who are interested in signing Corinthians left-back Andre Santos are confused as to how much he is actually worth.

The 26-year-old, who recently starred in Brazil's Confederations Cup victory, is attracting a lot of interest from teams in Serie A.

Earlier this week, Corinthians President Andres Sanchez said he would only accept an offer of around £17m for Santos.

However, his Italian based agent Mariano Grimaldi disagrees and believes Santos can be bought for as little as £5m.

The plot thickened this morning, when his FIFA registered agent Roberto Queiroz de Andrade weighed in with his own opinion.

“The question is very simple. If someone really wants Andre Santos they should contract me, the club or the President,” he said.

Roma are in the market for another full-back as Cicinho is out for a long time with a knee ligament injury and Christian Panucci is widely expected to leave the club.
