São Paulo's Hernanes Now Worth €25m

Barcelona's top executives flew to Brazil on Tuesday in order to have face-to-face talks with São Paulo and clinch a deal for the 23-year-old Anderson Hernanes.

After bidding for Hernanes €10m last week and also after Hernanes' agent claimed that €11m would be enough, the Barcelona delegation were surprised that São Paulo are now claiming €25m, more than double the amount they lodged for Hernanes.

São Paulo president Juvenal Juvencio was adamant that there would be no deal for less then €25m and nothing less that that would make them leave Hernanes for Europe.

"Talk of €11m for Hernanes is despicable. We will not consider even talking for less than €25m," São Paulo said.

Reports are also saying that Hernanes has also been linked with AC Milan and Inter Milan.
