— In about a year and a half with Flamengo, to already be a champion of the Copa do Brasil, Libertadores, Brazilian Championship and to compete in two World Cups in the same year. It was a special year, a year of achievements. This is what I wanted to experience -, he said, before concluding:

Of course, the transfer window is that thing: many things come up, many interests, and I am very grateful for that, because it shows how my year was, it values everything I built during it. But, at least while the games are happening, while this season is not over yet, I am still very focused on the games. I leave my staff, both my agent and my sister, who are the people working with me, to take care of these things. Once the season ends, we can sit at a table and think about what is best for everyone,” concluded the defender in an interview with 'GE'.
