Atlético-MG closed a verbal agreement with Thiago Neves, who has just terminated his contract with Grêmio, until the end of the 2020 Brazilian Championship. The player must reinforce the team at the request of Jorge Sampaoli and sign a commitment valid until February 2021. However, the rejection of the athletic fans upon the arrival of the ex-Cruzeirense ended up pushing the club back.
Looking for a midfielder in the ball market to meet the coach’s request, the club launched after the 35-year-old to perfect the creative sector. They were waiting for him tomorrow (15) in Belo Horizonte to do medical exams and sign a contract.
The idea was that, in their relationship, the attacking midfielder would receive a remuneration commensurate with productivity. If he gave up what the football department and the coaching staff expected, the player would have an increase in his salary. Otherwise, he would have a fixed salary below the current standards of Brazilian soccer.
When he started talking about his departure from Grêmio, Jorge Sampaoli approached the player to talk about a move to Cidade do Galo. Neves would be the club’s eleventh reinforcement since the arrival of the Argentine coach, but the ‘marriage’ between the player and Atlético lasted a few hours.
