Atlético Mineiro CSO silent on Hulk: “Board wants him to stay”

Amid the speculation involving Hulk, Fluminense, and Atlético-MG, the CSO of the Minas Gerais club, Paulo Bracks, spoke publicly about the matter but exercised caution when discussing the striker's future. In a press conference given to the media, the executive avoided going into details about the ongoing talks, only reinforcing Galo’s official position.

“I will not go into detail about what is being discussed, but I confirm that no one from the board wants Hulk to leave. He is a Galo idol and has everything it takes to become a legend,” stated Paulo Bracks.

The statement reinforces Atlético-MG’s stance of keeping the number 7 in the squad, even in the face of interest from other clubs and the current contractual uncertainty. Internally, Galo relies on the high release clause and the existing contract to avoid feeling pressured to negotiate the striker.
