Fabrizio Romano says Arsenal boss Arteta absolutely loves £60m midfielder

Reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano has lifted the lid on Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta's admiration for a £60 million midfielder, who he thinks would be "perfect".

Arsenal linked with midfield reinforcement this summer

Given the uncertainty surrounding Thomas Partey's future in north London, not to mention expiring contracts for the likes of Jorginho and Mohamed Elneny, Arsenal have been repeatedly tipped to bring in a new midfield man.

The Gunners are thought to be admirers of Aston Villa star Douglas Luiz, but his importance to Unai Emery makes this deal a potentially tricky deal to do, and especially if Villa end up qualifying for the Champions League.

Previous reports have claimed that Arsenal will push to sign Luiz this summer, but failing that, they will have other targets on their agenda. In any case, midfield is thought to be a priority area for the title chasers – alongside the addition of a new striker.

"It's no great secret that Arsenal want to sign a striker this summer. When the window opens it will be the priority, along with a midfielder and potentially another wide attacker," said journalist Charles Watts recently.

"It will be interesting to see whether they move for Victor Osimhen. He, like Toney, is a player they like and I know that his representatives have visited Arsenal's training ground for talks with Edu.

"Those talks took place in the summer when Arsenal eventually signed Gabriel Jesus. Jesus was always the priority that year, but Osimhen was definitely a player they viewed as a serious alternative. That interest will remain, but the Nigerian could prove to be too costly an option in a summer given Arsenal want to spread their budget around as they look to take the squad to the next level."

If they cannot fulfill an ambitious swoop for Luiz, other names on Arsenal's radar include Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi.

Fabrizio Romano shares Arteta love for Zubimendi

Speaking on his YouTube channel, reliable journalist Romano has said Arteta is a big fan of Zubimendi, and believes he would be "perfect" for any club in world football, including Arsenal.

Martin Zubimendi

“Let me clarify, Zubimendi is not desperate to leave the club, but in case of super big clubs arriving he could leave the club," said Romano.

"There is a release clause of €66m (£60m), that is the value of the release clause. From what I’m hearing, Mikel Arteta is still a big fan of Zubimendi, he believes that Zubimendi is a very talented midfielder and could be perfect for any club in the world."

The Spaniard has been a mainstay in the Sociedad midfield, making 29 La Liga appearances this season, scoring four goals and an assist.

'There is nothing called natural game' – Rishabh Pant's takeaway

“The team management has told me to calm myself and keep improving the game and fitness, basically in all aspects”

ESPNcricinfo staff16-Dec-20191:37

I’ve learnt that there is nothing called a ‘natural game’ – Pant

A 69-ball 71 in the first ODI against West Indies signaled a welcome return to run-scoring form for Rishabh Pant, and he said afterwards that playing “according to the situation” was his takeaway from his time in international cricket and that “there is nothing called natural game”.The natural-game aspect has been a constant around Pant, the 22-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman, who has been blamed for throwing his wicket away with seemingly irresponsible shots. On Sunday, Pant batted with some degree of restraint but still scored at a rate of over a run-a-ball, lifting India from 80 for 3 to 194 in collaboration with Shreyas Iyer, who scored 70 in 88 balls.West Indies fined for slow over-rate

West Indies have been found to be four overs short of their over rate in the first ODI against India in Chennai, resulting in the team being fined 80% of their match fee.
Captain Pollard pleaded guilty to the offence after the match and accepted the sanction, so there was no need for a formal hearing.
“In accordance with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to minimum over-rate offences, players are fined 20 per cent of their match fees for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time. As such, the team have each been fined 80 per cent of their match fee,” the ICC said in a statement.

“When me and Iyer got together, we wanted to get a partnership going,” Pant said at the press conference after West Indies won by eight wickets to go 1-0 up in the three-match series. “We wanted to be together till the 40th over as we had lost three early wickets, and the 50-overs game is a long one. We thought if we are able to do that, we and the rest of the team would be able to capitalise on that.”When we were kids, we would hear that ‘play the natural game’, but since I have played the international game, I have realised that there is nothing called natural game. You have to play according to the situation and what the team needs. A good player is one who can mould his game according the situation and the team’s demand.”Pant, through his lean run over the past few months, has often been taunted by fans who have chanted “Dhoni, Dhoni” while he has been out in the middle, but in Chennai, Dhoni’s “home” in the IPL, there was a pleasant change for the youngster as the spectators shouted “Ree-shabh Pant, Ree-shabh Pant”.ALSO READ: When Thala Dhoni’s Chennai chanted ‘Pant! Pant! Pant!'”It is very important,” Pant said of the crowd support. “I was looking to improve every day but not getting there. I am not saying that I got there [today], but I am just trying to improve. It’s my learning curve, and I am thinking that I want to do whatever I can to get a good score on the board and in the end I got some runs.”Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, among others, have voiced their support for Pant in recent weeks, while Ravi Shastri, speaking to recently urged fans and critics to be patient with the young man.”See, the guy is 20-22. He came in and in Test match cricket, he has got two or three hundreds already overseas,” Shastri said. “It’s a learning curve as far as Pant goes. He is destructive with the way he bats, he is a match-winner on a given day. But there are times when you come in to the game like the way he has and done what he’s done, you suddenly become a known quantity from unknown. That’s when the pressure starts building on you as a young player. Living up to expectations becomes a thing.”Rishabh Pant goes leg side during the first ODI against West Indies•BCCI

Shastri also suggested that a return to the domestic circuit, where the Ranji Trophy is currently on, might be good for Pant. Speaking about his shot selection, one of the aspects of his batting under the most scrutiny, Shastri said, “But there’s time. He doesn’t have to do it all the time on the cricket field when he is playing for India. Sometimes, domestic cricket is good. There is less pressure in domestic cricket and playing domestic cricket and rediscovering themselves.”He’s lucky that he has age on his side. India is lucky that they have got multi-taskers. You have got [KL] Rahul who can keep, Sanju Samson, MS in the background. [Wriddhiman] Saha in the Test match. There is talent there.”He will come back tougher and stronger, if there is a need for that to happen. He doesn’t need to be spoken about as much as he is spoken about now. No! He is young, give him time. In five years, if he doesn’t set the world on fire, then talk about it.”Responding to a question on the criticism he has had to deal with, Pant said, “As a player, I only want to follow my processes. I am aware of the talks – some are good and others not so good, but the more I concentrate on my job the better it is. You have to believe in yourself. It doesn’t matter what people say about you. At times, you will get runs, while that might not happen on other days. But the process is always important.”The team management has told me to calm myself and keep improving the game and fitness. Basically improve in all aspects.”

مودريتش بعد الهزيمة أمام ميلان: هناك انقسام في ريال مدريد

اعترف قائد ولاعب وسط الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي ريال مدريد، لوكا مودريتش، بأن هناك انقسام يؤدي لسقوط الملكي بعد خسارة ميلان في دوري أبطال أوروبا.

وخسر ريال مدريد للمرة الثانية على التوالي بين أرضه وجماهيره أمام الروسونيري يوم أمس، الثلاثاء، بنتيجة 3-1 بعد الهزيمة في الكلاسيكو ضد برشلونة قبل 10 أيام تقريبًا بنتيجة 4-0 في “سانتياجو برنابيو”.

وعلق مودريتش على وضع ريال مدريد في تصريحات للمركز الإعلامي للاتحاد الأوروبي لكرة القدم، وقال: “ليلة أخرى مخيبة للآمال بالنسبة لنا”.

وتابع: “من الصعب تقييم حالتنا في تلك المباراة، لم نلعب بشكل جيد وكان ميلان أفضل، كانت هناك بعض اللحظات التي تفوقنا فيها ولكن في المجمل لم يكن أداءً جيدًا”.

واستمر: “الأمر لا يتعلق بخط واحد من خطوط الفريق، بل يتعلق بالفريق بأكمله، نحن بحاجة لنكون فريقًا أفضل على أرض الملعب، نجد الحلول، لأنن في الوقت الحالي نبدو منقسمين”.

وأضاف: “نحن بحاجة إلى العودة إلى قوتنا التي اكتسبناها طوال هذه السنوات، لكن في البداية، علينا تصحيح الأخطاء”.

وواصل تصريحاته: “لقد كنت هناك منذ 12 عامًا وهذه ليست المرة الأولى التي أعيش بها هذا الموقف”.

وأتم: “الإمكانات الفنية ليست كافية، نحن بحاجة إلى الاجتهاد بشكل أكبر، هذا ما سيسهل مهمتنا، متأكد من أننا سننهض مرة أخرى”.

Newcastle now tracking another “special” English star alongside Lloyd Kelly

Newcastle United want to complete the signing of a "special" English player this summer, aiming to bring him in as one of two free agents alongside Lloyd Kelly.

Newcastle latest on Kelly

The Magpies have found themselves looking depleted in defence at times this season, with injuries acting as a big problem throughout the campaign. Sven Botman has arguably been the most high-profile absentee, and won't play again in 2023/24, but the likes of Kieran Trippier, Harvey Barnes, Joelinton and Joe Willock have all missed long periods, among others.

One player who has been linked with a move to Newcastle in the summer transfer window is Kelly, with Eddie Howe knowing him well, having worked with him at Bournemouth. The 25-year-old is out of contract with the Cherries at the end of the season, meaning he would be available on a free transfer. He can play at left-back or centre-back, which would reinforce two of the most injury-hit areas this season.

Kelly may not be the only Premier League player being targeted by the Magpies in the coming months, with Nottingham Forest star man Morgan Gibbs-White also reportedly wanted. The Englishman could be keen on a new challenge at a club chasing European football, and he could be an excellent signing. A natural left-back wouldn't go amiss either, and Wolves ace Rayan Ait-Nouri has been backed to come in and provide competition in that area.

Newcastle also chasing "special" Premier League player

According to The Telegraph, Newcastle are keen on signing Fulham centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo in the summer, seeing him as an additional signing on top of Kelly, rather than an alternative. The Magpies are interested in snapping up both soon to be free agents, immediately bolstering their defensive options in the process.

With Trippier, Burn and Fabian Schar all now in their 30s, there is a clear need to bring in younger players, so signing both Adarabioyo and Kelly this summer makes complete sense, heralding the start of a new era in Newcastle's back-line.

Adarabioyo is enjoying an impressive season for Fulham, averaging 3.9 clearances and 2.9 aerial duel wins per game in the Premier League this season, while manager Marco Silva has heaped praise on him in the recent past, saying: "We missed him a lot, we missed him because he didn’t play the first three months of the season. Tosin is a special player for us, I can’t hide that situation.

"The way he can defend the box but also on the ball he is a special player for me, the way I want to play, the way he can build (from the back). For three months we missed him but he has just played the last four or five games and he is getting better and better."

Craig Ervine to captain Zimbabwe in Bangladesh with Sean Williams expecting first child

Zimbabwe have recalled fast bowler Chris Mpofu with Kyle Jarvis and Tendai Chatara still out with injury

Zimbabwe captain Sean Williams will miss the one-off Test against Bangladesh in Dhaka on February 22 to be with his family for the birth of his first child. In his absence, Craig Ervine will lead the 15-member squad which has also been shorn of two key fast bowlers.Kyle Jarvis is unavailable due to a lower-back problem that he picked up playing the first Test against Sri Lanka in January while Tendai Chatara continues his recovery from a bicep injury. As a result, Zimbabwe have recalled Chris Mpofu, whose last game of Test cricket was the four-day pink-ball match against South Africa in December 2017.Mpofu has been more of a regular presence for Zimbabwe in limited-overs cricket and his return to the longer format may have been helped by his performances in the Logan Cup. The 34-year old picked up 11 for 54 in a very tight first-class game against Mid West Rhinos late last month. He is the only addition to the squad that lost the recent two-match home series to Sri Lanka. Opening batsman Kevin Kasuza, who suffered concussion after being hit in the head in both Tests, kept his place.Zimbabwe will leave for Dhaka on Friday. Their tour kicks off with a two-day practice game against the Bangladesh Cricket Board XI which leads into the first Test. Then, they play three ODIs on March 1, 3 and 6 for which Williams is expected to be available. The tour ends with Zimbabwe and Bangladesh meeting in two T20Is on March 9 and 11 in Dhaka.Zimbabwe Test squad: Sikandar Raza, Regis Chakabva (wk), Craig Ervine (captain), Kevin Kasuza, Timycen Maruma, Prince Masvaure, Christopher Mpofu, Brian Mudzinganyama, Carl Mumba, Tinotenda Mutombodzi, Ainsley Ndlovu, Victor Nyauchi, Brendan Taylor, Donald Tiripano, Charlton Tshuma

أنفيلد ووتش: محمد صلاح يعاني من عدم الاحترام.. كاف يتجاهله وليفربول يضر نفسه

أعدت شبكة “أنفيلد ووتش” الإنجليزية تقريرًا مطولًا عن النجم المصري محمد صلاح، في ظل الغموض الذي يكتنف مستقبله في الوقت الحالي رفقة فريق ليفربول.

ودخل محمد صلاح الأشهر الحاسمة في عقده الحالي مع ليفربول، الذي سينتهي في يونيو المقبل، أي نهاية هذا الموسم.

وتظهر الكثير من التكهنات حول مستقبل صاحب الـ32 عامًا في الفترة الأخيرة، ما بين إمكانية استمراره مع ليفربول عن طريق تجديد عقده، أو الرحيل نحو نادِ آخر.

وقالت شبكة “أنفيلد ووتش” في تقريرها: “محمد صلاح ليس مجرد أسطورة في ليفربول، بل إنه أسطورة في الدوري الإنجليزي، حيث يحتل المركز الثامن في قائمة الأهداف برصيد 165 هدفًا، وهو في طريقه لتجاوز تييري هنري (175) بحلول نهاية الموسم الحالي، كما تخطى مؤخرًا أسطورة آرسنال السابق في التمريرات الحاسمة بعد أن صنع هدف داروين نونيز الافتتاحي في فوز ليفربول 2-0 على أستون فيلا، وهو الآن في المركز الثالث عشر في القائمة ويحتاج الدولي المصري إلى خمس تمريرات حاسمة أخرى فقط في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز لاقتحام المراكز العشرة الأولى”.

وأضافت: “وبعد تسجيله وصناعته أمام أستون فيلا، فإن محمد صلاح سجل وصنع الآن في مباراة واحدة 36 مرة، ويُعد واين روني هو الوحيد الذي حقق ذلك من قبل، وفي مستواه الحالي، لن يمر وقت طويل قبل أن يصبح محمد صلاح الصاحب الأوحد لهذ الرقم القياسي”.

وتابعت: “لاعب روما في حالة لا تُصدق، لا يمكن إيقافه تقريبًا، ففي الدوري الإنجليزي، يتصدر الجدول من حيث المشاركات التهديفية هذا الموسم برصيد 14 هدفًا بعد أن سجل ثمانية أهداف وصنع ستة أهداف في أول 11 مباراة له، كما ساهم بهدف واحد وأربع تمريرات حاسمة في دوري أبطال أوروبا هذا الموسم ليرفع حصيلته إلى 19 هدفًا في 15 مباراة في هاتين المسابقتين”.

وهنا تساءلت الشبكة: “ليس سيئًا بالنسبة للاعب رائع لموسم واحد، أليس كذلك؟ (كسخرية من أولئك الذين سبقوا وقالوا أن تألق محمد صلاح سيكون لموسم واحد فقط)، هذا يجعل الوضح الحالي أكثر إزعاجًا”.

وتطرقت للحديث عن مسألة العقد الجديد، حيث قالت: “في غضون أقل من سبعة أسابيع، سيكون الفائز بالحذاء الذهبي ثلاث مرات حرًا في التحدث إلى أندية أخرى، حيث ينتهي عقد صلاح الحالي في أنفيلد في نهاية الموسم ولا يبدو أن المسؤولين في عجلة من أمرهم لربطه بعقد جديد”.

واسترسلت: “زعمت التقارير مؤخرًا أن هدف الهلال سيبقى في ميرسيسايد خلال فترة التوقف الدولي، بعد أن اعتذر عن منتخب مصر، للتركيز على محادثات العقد، ويُعتقد أن تمديد العقد لمدة عامين هو الهدف النهائي بالنسبة له، هذا ما يعني بقائه لمدة 10 سنوات مع ليفربول، حيث عاد إلى الدوري الإنجليزي في 2017 بعد فترة قضاها في الدوري الإيطالي، ومنذ انتقاله إلى الريدز، حطم العديد من الأرقام القياسية وفاز بكل شيء يمكن تخيله مع ليفربول”.

وأثنت قائلة: “تعاون صلاح مع أمثال ساديو ماني وروبرتو فيرمينو وديوجو جوتا ولويس دياز وداروين نونيز وكودي جاكبو على مر السنين، وعلى الرغم من الديناميكية المتغيرة لهجوم ليفربول ووصول مدرب جديد هذا الصيف، إلا أنه ظل الرجل الرئيسي وظل إنتاجه ثابتًا بشكل مذهل، وخلال مواسمه السبعة الكاملة مع النادي، سجل متوسط ​​22 هدفًا في الدوري الإنجليزي، وبمعدل تسجيله الحالي، فهو في طريقه لتسجيل 28 هدفًا هذا الموسم، سيكون هذا أفضل إنجازا له منذ موسم 2017/18 القياسي”.

واستكملت إشادتها: “كما فاز بجائزة أفضل لاعب في العام، وجائزة أفضل صانع ألعاب في العام، وجائزة هدف الموسم، وكان ضمن فريق الموسم في رابطة اللاعبين المحترفين في إنجلترا ثلاث مرات”.

وترى الشبكة أن هناك حالة من عدم الاحترام لـ محمد صلاح، حيث بررت ذلك قائلة: “لم يدخل الدولي المصري في القائمة المختصرة المكونة من 30 لاعبًا لجائزة الكرة الذهبية لعام 2024 على الرغم من مساهمته في 39 هدفًا في جميع المسابقات”.

ليس هذا فقط، بل تابعت: “تم استبعاده من فريق الأسبوع الأخير لـ يويفا على الرغم من تقديمه تمريرتين حاسمتين ضد بطل الدوري الألماني باير ليفركوزن، وحدث نفس الشيء في وقت سابق من الموسم عندما غاب على الرغم من تسجيله ومساعدته في الفوز على بولونيا”.

وأوضحت: “كما ترك كاف صلاح خارج القائمة المختصرة لأفضل لاعب إفريقي لعام 2024، وكشف مصدر مقرب من صلاح مؤخرًا أن آخر مرة توصل معه الاتحاد كان قبل عامين أو ثلاثة أعوام لتنظيم حضوره إلى حفل توزيع جوائز”.

وهاجمت الشبكة ليفربول، قائلة: “لعب النادي أيضًا دورًا في عدم احترام صلاح، ففي أواخر أغسطس، كشف أن لا أحد تحدث معه في تلك المرحلة بشأن صفقة جديدة، لماذا لم يعامل النادي أحد أعظم لاعبيهم على الإطلاق، وهو شخص يمكنه التحدث إلى أندية أخرى في منتصف الموسم، بالاحترام الذي يستحقه أكثر من ذلك؟ هذا النوع من العقلية والنهج لديه القدرة على إخراج الموسم عن مساره!”.

ماذا يريد محمد صلاح؟ ناقشت الشبكة نفسها ذلك الأمر، حيث قالت في تقريرها الشيق: “إذا كانت التقارير صحيحة ويريد عقدًا جديدًا لمدة عامين، فما الضرر في منحه ذلك فقط؟ الاهتمام من السعودية أن ليفربول ليس في وضع محرج أو محفوف بالمخاطر المالية إذا انخفض مستواه بشكل كبير، سيكون هناك دائمًا مشترٍ للمصري، وهو مُدرك بما يكفي لإنهاء مسيرته في أنفيلد إذا شعر أنها لا تسير على ما يرام، ومن الواضح إنه بعد كل شيء يحب النادي”.

وشددت: “لو كان الأمر يتعلق بالمال، لكان محمد صلاح قد رحل منذ فترة طويلة، ففي حين أنه اللاعب الأعلى أجرًا في تاريخ النادي، كان بإمكان الفرق الأخرى تحسين راتبه، وخشي البعض أن يكون العقد الجديد في عام 2022 محفوفًا بالمخاطر، لكن في الموسمين الكاملين منذ ذلك الحين، سجل 37 هدفًا في الدوري الإنجليزي وساهم بـ 22 تمريرة حاسمة، لا يبدو أنه يتباطأ، لا يزال مُنتجًا كما كان دائمًا”.

واختتمت : “فلماذا التردد في تجديد عقد محمد صلاح في أقرب وقت ممكن؟ تمديد عقده لمدة عامين هو أقل ما يمكن أن يكون مخاطرة، كما أن هذا الأمر بمثابة إعلان صريح، إذ يُظهِر أن النادي يريد الفوز من خلال الاحتفاظ بأفضل لاعبيه”.

Fabrizio Romano: 49ers "will speak" with £45m star to keep him at Leeds

Leeds United have been handed a fresh update on the future of one of their stars this summer, courtesy of transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.

Leeds fighting for promotion

Daniel Farke's side are currently locked in a mammoth battle for Championship promotion, with Leeds sitting third and a point outside the automatic promotion spots.

One win in their last five games has left them an outside bet for automatic promotion, with a clash against in-form Southampton still to come in the final three games of the season and Leeds needing to bank on Leicester City or Ipswich Town dropping points between now and the end of the campaign.

ByBen Browning Apr 18, 2024

Should they end up missing out on promotion entirely, Farke and co could well have to change their summer plans, and it may have a major impact on their squad for next season.

Romano makes claim on Summerville's Leeds future

Now, Leeds could be set for a Raphinha repeat as several clubs circle around impressive winger Crysencio Summerville ahead of a potential move away from the club this summer.

The 22-year-old winger, valued at £45m at Elland Road, has been a key part of Leeds' promotion run this season, racking up 17 goals and grabbing eight assists in 40 Championship outings to help them to third in the table.

His performances have not gone unnoticed, with the Dutchman scooping the Championship Player of the Year award and being strongly linked with a move to Premier League giants Liverpool and Chelsea this summer among other clubs.

Any sale may have to be close to a record fee for Leeds, which currently sits at the £50m that they received from Barcelona for Raphinha in the summer of 2022.

Now, transfer guru Romano has provided the latest on the situation, speaking to GiveMeSport. The journalist was not optimistic for the Championship side, revealing that he felt Leeds may be fighting a losing battle given the ability Summerville has shown at Elland Road this season, though he feels sure Leeds and the 49ers Enterprises will do their best to keep him.

Should Leeds fail to secure promotion, it feels certain that the Dutchman would leave the Elland Road outfit, though he may opt to stay for another season of first-team football if they were to find themselves in the top flight once more.

Gerson fala em volta ao Flamengo e realça: 'Saio emocionado, mas com a sensação de missão cumprida'

Chegou ao fim a passagem histórica de Gerson pelo Flamengo. O jogo de despedida foi marcado pela vitória – suada – contra o Fortaleza, por 2 a 1, cujos gols foram marcados por Bruno Henrique. Após a partida no Maracanã, e válida pela 6ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro, o camisa 8 chorou e conduziu a sua declaração à base de emoção, lembranças e agradecimentos.

– A gente nunca pensa em se despedir, uma das coisas mais difíceis do mundo é se despedir de pessoas, de amigos que você ama. É difícil para caramba. Mas se despedir de um clube que, quando criança, sempre torceu, chorou na derrota e sorriu na vitória, ter a oportunidade um dia estar vestindo a camisa desse clube, e ter que se despedir… imagina o que é, o que se passa na cabeça da pessoa. Saio emocionado, mas com a sensação de missão cumprida – falou Gerson, na saída de gramado, com os olhos marejados e ao canal “Premiere”.

– Sempre tive o sonho de jogar no Maracanã, e cheguei aqui o telão agradecendo.Fiqueifiquei pouco tempo, mas é muito gratificante. Só tenho a agradecer por tudo que vivi aqui. No Flamengo, tu não vai só para trabalhar, lá dentro tem uma família. É difícil deixar pessoas que você ama e convive, acaba criando um carinho muito forte – emendou, citando funcionários da comissão técnica, departamento médico e comunicação do clube.

Negociado com oOlympique de Marseille, da França, Gerson fez um exercício de se imaginar em sua nova realidade, a torcedor de seu clube coração, como era na infância. O meio-campista ainda frisou que retornará ao Rubro-Negro.

– Agora voltei a ser torcedor, nunca escondi isso de ninguém. Que ele (falando de Gerson para Gerson) possa ser feliz e conquistar todos os títulos… Falando por mim agora, espero poder voltar e que todos me recebam com o coração aberto – disse, completando sobre a proposta (que pode chegar aos25 milhões de euros com bonificações futuras):

– Pensamos em todos os lados (ao aceitar a proposta do OM). Estamos vivendo um momento difícil. O clube estava muito bem estruturado, acabou que essa pandemia deu uma balançada geral. Saio triste, mas sabendo que, com a minha venda, posso ajudar o Flamengo.
