“President Vanderlei Pereira and I have been in Italy and after long negotiations with the director general of Napoli we obtained compensation, which will be paid in February,” said Ponte Preta financial director Gustavo Valio.
“Since the player clearly did not want to feature for Ponte anymore and opted for the Italian team, we made every effort to ensure the club’s rights were respected.”
