Orlando Rollo again addressed the negative opinion of the Santos Fiscal Council on the sale of Lucas Veríssimo to Benfica and reveals a conversation with the player on the subject that caused discomfort in the squad.

«I spoke all day (with the players), mainly with Lucas Veríssimo, trying to calm him down because that news is very strange. He was extremely upset, very upset about what happened. And I will repeat it: that opinion did not reach the Management Committee, “he said, quoted by Globoesporte, leader of the club after the Libertadores game against LDU Quito, which Santos lost, 0-1.

“We do not know if it is false news or if it was a leak of internal information from the Fiscal Council,” he added, highlighting the outrage that the case provoked among the players: “We even made a note to try to contain our spirits (denying the report) “They were very excited, especially the athletes, who took the trouble of Lucas Veríssimo. We have to know what happened. What we do know is that it was someone’s irresponsibility.”

With the elections scheduled for December 12, the board needs the approval of the Fiscal and Deliberative Councils to approve any negotiations related to the sale of players. Globoesporto reveals that, given the economic crisis that is shaking the club, the management sent a report to the Supervisory Board on economic problems, arguing that the sale of Lucas Veríssimo to Benfica would be an important fit that would allow players to pay their salary up to end of the year. .
