The £25million-rated Brazilian wants to cancel his contract with his Ukrainian club as the war with Russia continues to rage and football is suspended. FIFA have already announced that foreign players in Ukraine and Russia can leave on loan as long as they make a decision before April 7. Shakhtar have 12 Brazilians registered and all are looking to find other clubs at least on a temporary basis. However, talks are being held by some about annulling contracts amid calls from players union FIFPRO who say FIFA should take a stronger stance to protect players' welfare. Tete and teammate Dodo are among those looking at permanent moves and Premier League sides have been approached to see if they can take them into their squads. Early proposals include allowing them to train with prospective clubs while the Premier League determines whether to allow signings to be made now rather than hold off until the summer. There is a concern that giving permanent signings a green light in March would be ethically wrong as rivals have already filled their squad quotas meeting the deadline in January. Tete has played 28 games this season and scored ten goals. Though has still to be capped by Brazil at full level, he has two U23 caps and has trained with the national side. 1

CloudFox Posted 12 March 2022 Posted 12 March 2022 I've just discovered that Tete means "heat" in French so it's a hot oui from me. (no I don't care that French is irrelevant here, but it just works, okay) 1

Once things hopefully settle down he will then have been here for a bit which could make any permanent deal in the future easier Edited 12 March 2022 by moore_94 12 1

Once things hopefully settle down he will then have been here for a bit which could make any permanent deal in the future easier That would be logical. Get him on loan as a safe haven to train and integrate with the squad. There's a good chance he can leave Shakhtar on a free in the summer and we'd be all over that. 3

Surely we are not going to bel allowed to play him as we already have our squad listed, it would not be fair on other clubs to recruit this way (even though I suppose they also have the opportunity to pick him up as well).

Surely we are not going to bel allowed to play him as we already have our squad listed, it would not be fair on other clubs to recruit this way (even though I suppose they also have the opportunity to pick him up as well). Can get a better look at him in training, and him being comfortable here could make any permanent future deal easier And like CloudFox mentioned, it benefits Shakhtar and would also massively help out Tete himself Even if we can't play him it would be a benefit to us, him, and possibly Shakhtar in the short term. 1

I see it as a 'try before you buy' situation. If he's allowed to play in the PL or ECL, great. If not, he's on something like £10k a week I believe, so hardly an issue for us to cover for 2-3 months. 1
