Atlético-MG even closed the hiring of 35-year-old midfielder Thiago Neves. The talks, which had been taking place over the past few days, came to an end this Monday morning. A pre-contract was signed (with the condition of the results of the medical examinations), and the player was expected this Tuesday morning in Belo Horizonte. The information was leaked. The crowd rebelled on social media. The deal was canceled. Is he give tells the backstage of this story.
Chapter # 1: the request and the conviction
As has happened with dozens of players since he arrived at Atlético, Jorge Sampaoli asked the board to sign Thiago Neves. The coach understands that the creative midfield of the squad is lacking and that the player would add value. The first impact on management was extremely negative.. Most of the leaders were against it. The technician insisted and convinced some of the top hats, but not all. Sette Câmara, the president, was convinced.
Chapter # 2: the hammer blow
The parties reached an agreement: the contract was valid until the end of the Brasileirão. The salary on the work card was considerably lower than that received by Thiago Neves in Cruzeiro (more than R $ 500 thousand) and in Grêmio, but there was a provision for bonuses for productivity and goals. A source told the give: “Did you play well? Did you produce? Won. If not, no.”
The bond was even signed, which is perfectly possible before the medical examinations. I like it? The parties sign a pre-contract, already legally valid, but subject to examinations. In it, it is already possible to establish up to the amount of the fine for the cancellation and non-signing of the main contract. The practice is very common, for example, in international negotiations.

The repercussions were not positive. Unlike. In all the polls promoted by the press, the vast majority of fans voted against the hiring.
