Fluminense president Mário Bittencourt responded this afternoon to journalists about the departure of Evanilson, a 20-year-old forward who will reinforce FC Porto 2020/21
On Evanilson’s departure: “Recently, Evanilson was wanted by some clubs. The main proposal was for an English club, Crystal Palace. It was true that the club was interested and in principle it was going to be that. I asked him to stay until the end of the Brazilian Championship. and the Copa do Brasil and if the sale had been made to England, it would have stayed. But a proposal came from FC Porto. Porto arrived with higher values, and obviously we had no control over that. “
Attempt to stay: “I made it possible for the player to stay with us until the end of the Brasileirão. But even for fear of injury, the club and the coach preferred that the athlete leave now. We took on a situation that was practically lost.”
The controversy at the exit: “There is no automatic renewal, the contracts have a fixed term. I do not criticize anyone, but if there was any failure in relation to that it was before our arrival. Do you think I would like to lose my main player? I am president.” I am also a fan and I am sad. But it is football. We have lost, but we are going to assess whether we are going to be able to make the replacement at the same level. “
The time of departure: “There is a time to sell the player. And if the player did not want to renew, he does not renew. To renew a contract, we need the player to accept the proposal. It was not the low renewal that kept Evanilson or not. The salary we offer it was enough for Evanilson. He liked it. But the proposal from Europe was very good for him. “
The mistake with Evanilson: “I think the mistake that could have happened to Evanilson was when he turned 18 and didn’t sign a five-year contract. Maybe because they didn’t see the potential. When we saw it, it was too late. If Evanilson hadn’t raised the year In the past, I was not here today. We did the U-23 to face the athletes in the training who are not yet ready for the professional. “
