Beto and Brandon Soppy’s signing went unnoticed on deadline day, but Udinese manager Pierpaolo Marino insists they will be remembered as “historic” players.
Center-forward Beto was the last player to be in a hurry before the Serie A deadline, moving from Portimonense on loan with an obligation to buy for € 7million plus € 3million in bonuses, while the Portuguese side could also keep 50% of any future transfer. .
Soppy is a 19-year-old right-back who cost Rennes € 2m and can also play in central defense.
“I am very happy to welcome two great players that we have managed to bring to Udine,” manager Marino said at his press conference.
“They will definitely be a success at this club. Beto has been a forward that we have been following for quite some time and he recently made headlines, but we had noticed him during his lower league appearances.
“He’s a modern striker who, despite his strong physiognomy, is also fast. He reminds me of Duvan Zapata and we are a team that can make the most of his characteristics.
“As for Soppy, he is so young, but already has the characteristics of a complete player. His change of pace to the right can be devastating.
“This is a historic day, showcasing two gems that we will remember in the future.”
Beto confessed at the same press conference that his idol is Samuel Eto’o, but that over the years he has also achieved beloved center-forwards like Didier Drogba, Robert Lewandowski and Romelu Lukaku.
“I combine pace and physique, which are characteristics that are hard to come by together,” said the 23-year-old Portuguese talent.
“I scored a lot of goals in Portugal, but naturally the Italian league is very different and I hope to adapt as quickly as possible. I don’t want to disappoint anyone who has invested in me.
??#Be at: â€I’m sure I can do well here with the help of my teammates. I immediately felt at home: all the staff were very welcoming. I would like to score a lot of goals in Italy and help the team – and I hope soon.
