Coach Cuca said that today’s match (17) against Coritiba is the last for Venezuelan Soteldo with the Santos jersey. The information was given by the coach in an interview with the TNT channel before the start of the game.
“It’s not that it could be Soteldo’s last game. It’s Soteldo’s last game. We did the conference in addition to that. The player was very important to us and will continue his life for economic reasons. We have to understand,” Cuca said.
Soteldo’s destination should be Al Hilal, from Saudi Arabia. The team made a proposal of about R $ 40 million for the Venezuelan. At first, Santos had refused, but the Arabs increased their offer.
There was resistance from the player to accept the deal. Soteldo, 23, was interested in migrating to European football and, according to Gazeta Esportiva, a high salary should be offered to change the idea of the player.
Santos owns 100% of the Venezuelan’s economic rights, but has not yet paid Huachipato for the transfer. The Chilean team filed a lawsuit in FIFA against Santos.
Soteldo assisted Kaio Jorge’s goal, which opened the scoring against Coritiba, in Couto Pereira.
