The leader speaks of “expenditure ceiling” to satisfy the requests made by the player
One of the biggest surprises in the São Paulo related list for the goalless draw against Ituano on Tuesday evening (11)in the first stage of the third stage of the Brazil Cupwas the Flying Luan.
The number 8 shirt was excluded from the game by decision of coach Rogério Ceni. And in the locker room after the game, the coach specified that he had made the decision on his own, given the difficulties encountered by the club in extending the player’s contract, which expires at the end of the year.
– As for Luan, there are others who haven’t been summoned today, but it’s a question from me, from what I see. We would like him to renew with San Paolo. He has been injured for a long time, he has come back slowly, he has had many opportunities during Paulista. I think about conservation. It is not the order of the management, it is better to define this situation. He wants to stay, he will stay, he will have opportunities.
Among the reasons given by Ceni for taking action was that of saving the association. And he cited as examples two recent cases that still cause repercussions within the Tricolor: the midfielder Igor Gomes and the defender Luizão. Both left the club on a free transfer late last year after opting not to renew their bonds.
– For me this decision is easier because it preserves St. Paul. Last year we had the case of Igor Gomes and you said ‘wow, he played to the end’. I think we can reflect and evolve. Maybe he was wrong. So let’s wait, when we decide and things settle down, who knows, maybe we can find an agreement and we can use it. It’s my decision, not the council’s.
– I’ve already talked several times about Luan, about different things. I think he can help the club a lot. I just want this case solved. The club is making an effort to keep him. I think it’s better to resolve the situation because last year we had cases of players who played until the end of their contract and left the club. The ideal would be to resolve this situation as soon as possible, for the company it is important – concluded the coach.
Cut from those listed, Luan went to Morumbi to watch the match together with other athletes who were unable to play, such as Moreira and Gabriel Neves (injured), as well as Raí Ramos, unable to defend the Tricolor because he had already played in the competition for Ithuanian himself.
Luan will be able to sign a pre-contract with any club from June. And according to Carlos Belmonte, director of football at San Paolo, an agreement between the parties seems far from being reached.
– We have made three or four renewal proposals to Luan and at the moment we are negotiating for the renewal, which is not a simple thing for the player’s wishes – the coach told ‘Radio Transamerica‘.
– The athlete has his aspirations, it is the aspirations of values he intends and we have our limits and spending limits. We are still in the negotiation phase – concluded Belmonte.
