2 sources claim player ‘heading to England’ to join Hull City – Will sign 2-year deal with Tigers

On Wednesday, journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu reported Hull City have started formal talks to sign João Pedro. He also stated the Championship side should make progress later that day.

The striker has been without a club since Fenerbahçe released him in August. This allows Hull City to sign him outside the transfer window.

Sportitalia now backs up Hull City’s interest and adds that the 32-year-old is ‘heading to England’.

This would indicate the two parties have made progress, after yesterday’s talks.

It’s claimed the frontman would be close to joining Tim Walter’s side. He’s expected to sign a one-year deal at Hull City, with an option for another year.

Pedro spent eight years at Cagliari between 2014 and 2022. He had an opportunity to return to Italy as Salernitana wanted to sign him.

TuttoMercatoWeb state Salernitana came close, but the deal didn’t take shape. The Brazil-born Italy international is now ‘heading to England’ to join Hull City.

They add the attacker will sign a two-year contract with the English club. This is likely to include a one-year deal, with an option for another year, as reported by Sportitalia.

Fenerbahçe let Pedro spend last season on loan at Grêmio, where he managed three goals and an assist from 45 games.
