Hulk speaks out on Atlético-MG saga: “I didn’t put myself on the market”

Targeted by Fluminense, the forward Hulk spoke out this Saturday morning (10) about the tension with Atlético-MG's management. During a protest by organized fan groups at the entrance of Cidade do Galo, the player got out of his car and talked to the fans, denying that he had forced an exit from the Minas Gerais club.

I will just say one thing to you: it wasn't me who put myself on the market,” stated the forward.

Hulk, 39, has a contract with Atlético until the end of 2026, with the possibility of renewal for another season. Amid the uncertainty about his future, the number 7 stated that he was treated as a “villain” by the club's leadership.

I showed up on the right date, didn't miss a day of training, and am working. This narrative of portraying me as a villain hasn't taken away my peace,” he said.

While the situation remains unresolved in Belo Horizonte, Fluminense is closely monitoring the scenario and maintaining talks with the player's staff.
