The "novel" surrounding Hulk's future at Atlético gained new and important chapters on the night of this Tuesday (06). In posts made on his official Instagram page, the forward publicly addressed the rumors of his departure, denied points from the press conference of the club's CSO, Paulo Bracks, and revealed that he felt undervalued sportingly by Galo.
In a direct tone, Hulk made it clear that at no point did he request a contract termination or force an exit from Atlético. It is important to remember that the player's current contract with Galo is valid until the end of 2026.
Despite this, the forward admitted discomfort with how he has been treated internally, especially in the sporting aspect. Hulk stated that he felt undervalued by Atlético.
Another point that drew attention was Hulk's stance regarding Paulo Bracks' statements. During a press conference held this Tuesday (06) at Arena MRV, the executive stated that there is no desire from the club for the player to retire.
"No one at Atlético is retiring Hulk, quite the opposite, we offered him a contract extension until the end of 2027. So it would be two more years of contract. Hulk will stop when he decides to stop, not Atlético or any other club," said Bracks.
On social media, however, Hulk was categorical in contradicting the version presented by Atlético's CSO:
Was there a manifestation of the club's desire for me to retire this year? Yes, clearly!
As had already been reported, Hulk also confirmed that he received an offer from another club. The player revealed that although the offer is financially less than what he currently receives at Atlético, it made him feel more valued from a sporting perspective.
Despite the wear and tear scenario, Hulk made sure to reinforce his commitment to Galo. The forward assured that he will fully honor his contract, valid until the end of 2026, and made a point of highlighting that his feelings for the club remain intact.
At the end of the posts, Hulk reaffirmed his love for Atlético and the fans, making it clear that regardless of internal discussions and market pressure, his story with Galo remains marked by respect, dedication, and identification.
