Neris stated that he always wanted to fulfill his contract and train, and denied having refused to attend practice. He also said that the termination was an “extreme” decision after months without a solution and reported that he was not included in preseason or football training, despite not having any injuries or sanctions.
He also pointed out that since the beginning of the year he had not received his salary, which, as he explained, ultimately deteriorated the relationship. In his message, the forward emphasized that the contract termination was “the final straw” to protect his professional dignity and emotional health. Finally, he thanked his agent and those who supported him during this process, while the Santa Fe club has already announced it will take legal action to defend its interests.
