Joao Paulo is wanted in Saudi Arabia. FCSB received an offer of approximately one million euros for the player, which Gigi Becali did not want to consider. The Saudis then increased the proposal to 1.5 million euros. However, it is unlikely that the midfielder from Cape Verde will leave FCSB for this amount, as Gigi Becali is asking for much more. According to the Saudi press, the interest from Saudi clubs for Joao Paulo is a direct result of his performance with the Cape Verde national team at the 2026 World Cup.

The same source also stated that Saudi clubs are expected to return with a new and improved financial offer in the coming days. Gigi Becali confirmed to digisport.ro that there is a concrete offer for Joao Paulo and that the proposal does not satisfy him.
