Fortaleza Esporte Clube
Fortaleza Esporte Clube is negotiating a loan deal for midfielder Pochettino with Vitória-BA. Despite his individual quality, the Brazilian team has agreed to release the player, who has a contract until the end of 2027.
High salary
Pochettino is the most expensive player in the 2026 Série B. At 30 years old, he earns close to R$ 750,000 per month in salary and bonuses.
Low performance
Currently, Pochettino's cost-benefit analysis is negative in the team's internal evaluation. Fortaleza Esporte Clube invests heavily, but does not get a proportional return on the field.
Opportunity for appreciation
Vitória-BA's proposal caught Fortaleza's attention also due to their presence in Série A. Instead of losing status in Série B, Pochettino could become more valuable in the season if he can recover his form in a different context.
