In an interview, the No. 10 said that the board and coaching staff tried to end his contract early more than three times during his time at the club.

In an interview with Record, midfielder Paulo Henrique Ganso revealed that Fluminense’s board approached him about terminating his contract on different occasions. According to the player, the issue came up more than three times due to strategic decisions by the coaching staff and the club.

— I think it was a little more than three times, but that’s okay. There’s the sporting director, the president, the coach, and they have to make decisions depending on the style of play they want at that moment — the midfielder explained, detailing how he reacted to the conversations:

— I would say: if that’s what you want, fine, let’s see what happens. Some time would pass and I always ended up staying.

With his contract only valid until the end of this season, the No. 10 avoided confirming a renewal for next year and emphasized that his deal is close to expiring.

— I’m a free agent on the market, I have a contract until the end of the year. Let’s take it through to the end of the year and keep playing. It’s important for us to stay in good shape in the Brasileirão and in the Libertadores, which is also a dream that’s within reach — he concluded.
