— I want to tell you that my word is worth more than a signature. I didn't need to sign in January or December to say that I'm staying. If I were different, I could have left Palmeiras a long time ago, clubs that could pay 4 million euros, 10 million euros, and I decided to stay for Palmeiras and for my family, — he said, before concluding:

— The president wanted me to stay, I have no problem saying that I will continue at Palmeiras. Period. I don't need a signed paper. She knows who I am, I know who she is. For the 5 years of relationship we have, I don't need a contract to say whether I continue or not at Palmeiras. I will want to stay here, yes. With our president, our players, and our director, — he said.
