Split squad? Maik posts pic with ‘dad’ Arboleda at São Paulo base | OneFootball

Arboleda returned and defined his future with São Paulo this week. The Ecuadorian will be fined and will train separately at CT da Barra Funda until the transfer window, when he will be negotiated.

Internal information from the club indicates that the center-back’s “crazy but cool” attitude did not go over well with the squad, which strongly disapproved of it. However, it seems Arboleda’s affection for the youngsters from Cotia remains strong.

The defender who returned to Tricolor is seen as the main figure bringing together the boys coming up from the academy, with his playful and easygoing manner, and he is very popular with the Made in Cotia group. Full-back Maik is one of them.

This Wednesday (6), the youngster, who is still recovering from muscle pain and did not travel with the squad to Chile, posted a photo with his partner Arboleda on social media. The big center-back reposted it, affectionately calling Maik his son.
