“We need fast, strong wingers with a lot of arrival. Marcelo is a very technical player, but there must be a project around him to play. He is a fantastic player, but we don’t think about Marcelo here, No”, added the sports director.
The San Paolo director also revealed what other roles the club intends to hire players for.
“If Rafinha doesn’t stay, we will also need a right back. And we only have one player in that midfield position, which today is basically Luciano, sometimes Lucas also inside, but we need more than one player in this role,” he stated.
“Basically these are the three positions we look at with different eyes. If it’s a level of priority, the priority right now is left back, because we already know that Wellington is leaving,” Belmonte reinforced.
Marcelo argued with Mano Menezes in the match between Fluminense and Grêmio, at the Maracanã. The relationship between the two in the daily life of the Rio club was no longer good.
