“If I chose the Rossoneri is only thanks to Leonardo. He called me and convinced me immediately, I have to thank him. I want to talk only with you, he told me. And I found it very important everything he told me during the conversation, I thought it was all good for me, for Flamengo, and for my family, everything. “
“The most important thing is that Milan has a serious project for my career. For a young Brazilian who moves to Europe is the thing that matters most and Milan gave me ample assurances. It’s the best choice I could make and I can not wait to start this new adventure.
Jersey number? I asked to have the number 39, the same with which I debuted in the first team at Flamengo and that brought me so much luck“, concluded the young star.
