Durcesio Mello has said he will not sign Neymar for Botafogo
Among the rumors about Neymar’s possible return to Santos. Botafogo president Durcesio Mello praised the Brazilian star but said he would not sign him to play for Alvinegro due to his recent injuries.
– God forbid [faz sinal com a cabeça de que não queria no Botafogo]. Neymar is one of the greatest players I have ever seen play, he is at Messi’s level and much better than Cristiano Ronaldo, but he ruined his career, which culminated with this injury that lasted about a year, now he is injured again – they declared president of the associative club in an interview with the “Resenha Alvinegra” channel.
The striker has an indirect link with Fogão because his sister Rafaella Santos is an avowed Alvinegro fan. This year, in fact, she was present at Nilton Santos in some of the team’s matches and is keen to share her passion for the club on social media.
Hours after the statement, Rafaella denied the statements of the current president of the association club through a post on one of her social networks.
– “God forbid”… President Durcesio Mello? It’s a good thing that Botafogo is MUCH more than a “board”. Joke! – he said.
Durcesio Mello took over the presidency of Botafogo in 2021, he is one of those responsible for the reconstruction of Alvinegro in recent years. In his first year, he put together a team that won the Série B. In 2022, he sold SAF do Glorioso to John Textor’s Eagle Holding Football group. It is worth mentioning that the president has no control over decision-making in club football.
