The former president of Santos recalls previous processes that involved the central.
Lucas Veríssimo’s desire to head to European football is not new to Santos. This is the guarantee left by José Carlos Peres, former president of the São Paulo club, who spoke, in an interview with the “Diário do Peixe” portal, about the possible departure of the 25-year-old center to Benfica.
“Since I joined [no Santos] that Lucas wanted to go to Europe, which is his dream and it must be respected. We sold it in 2018, only the conclusion of the deal with the Russians did not come about.

Is he [Veríssimo] He said he didn’t sign it. A great discussion started, the Russian [do Spartak] I was nervous, everything was fixed, but unfortunately it was a problem and it was not our fault. You have to see both sides. The value was 7.5 million euros clean, 80 percent of Santos. It ended up not being a closed deal and it was not our fault, “began Peres, who also reported on other negotiations by the Brazilian player:

They came to a meeting with me and offered me six million euros, but for those who had a proposal of 10 million, how would I sell them for six? I don’t remember the club, it was Italian, or Lazio, I don’t remember. I asked Santos for at least 7.5 million cleans. And suddenly the impeachment came irregularly and the deal stopped, “added ex – Leader Santos, who does not agree with the value of the offers presented by Benfica. as well as the possibility of the transfer being made by payment in installments. On the subject, José Carlos Peres is emphatic.
“I think this possibility of selling to Benfica is mediocre, surreal,” he concluded.
