Al Ahli has opened talks with Zenit for former Corinthians player Pedro, a Brazilian winger, and is now preparing a proposal of approximately 55 million euros (R$ 352 million), as reported by ESPN. This is not the first time a club from Saudi Arabia has pursued the 19-year-old, as Al Ittihad had a previous bid of nearly 40 million euros rejected. Zenit is reportedly receptive to the negotiation, intending to reinvest a significant portion of the funds in talent from South America. Corinthians is set to receive only 2.5% of the total transfer amount through the solidarity mechanism, which is about 1.4 million euros (R$ 9 million), having previously sold their remaining 30% of the player's economic rights to the Russian club. The player's contract with Zenit is valid until the end of 2028, and his market value is currently estimated by Transfermarkt to be €12 million.
