He is Brazilian and never gives up.

Businessman and investor Diego Fernandes has spoken out publicly again on his social media to criticize the political handling of President Harry Massis’s administration at São Paulo.

In a post on Instagram, Fernandes challenged recent statements made by the Tricolor executive and promised to soon disclose the formal proposal he personally delivered to the president, reopening the discussion about implementing a SAF model at the club.

In his statement, the businessman said he had offered, free of charge, an audit carried out by a multinational company and an in-depth study on the SAF model for the institution.

According to his account, the only thing requested in return was formal confirmation of receipt of the proposal via email, a response he says he is still waiting for.

Disagreements and political backstage

Diego Fernandes also revealed details of previous meetings with the São Paulo president, mentioning an invitation extended to Massis to attend Brazil national team matches in the U.S. alongside international investors.

The businessman claimed he understood the administration’s reluctance to address the matter publicly given the club’s troubled political climate, but justified his current public exposure as a commitment to transparency with the fans.

“Soon I will speak out about the interview Massis gave recently. I want to believe it was a communication failure on his part. To this day I am still waiting for them to reply to our email with the formalization document (…) São Paulo supporters deserve to know the whole story. It is exactly because of this kind of situation that happens at SPFC that I have always defended and wanted the negotiations to be carried out under the full spotlight. São Paulo does not need saviors,” he said in the post.

Sharp fingers

Fernandes also used social media to mock the transfer ban imposed on São Paulo due to the non-payment of an installment for the purchase of Marcos Antônio from Lazio.

In a post made by a news portal featuring a video interview with Rafinha, the investor called on board members to provide financial help to the club (see below).
