Mexican club Querétaro is interested in 25-year-old Brazilian Paulo Victor and submitted an offer of 500 thousand euros to Santa Clara, which was rejected. The management of the Azorean club has informed that they will not accept less than 1 million euros for the left-back, who is under contract until June 2028/29. Santa Clara is reportedly unwilling to let the player go without proper compensation, as a potential departure could force them to search for a replacement. Paulo Victor, who joined Santa Clara in July 2025, has a current market value of €800k, according to Transfermarkt.
