Paolo Calvi announced in a statement that the negotiations with the French striker were real, and put an end to the dispute over the Gremio presidency:
“I will never forcefully play with the fan passion of the club I love. This video was the first step in the negotiations. I noticed that I conveyed the necessary information (including potential sponsors) and made myself available to those who will lead the club. Today, I say goodbye to Gremio politics, I have fulfilled my mission, and I will leave with my head held high as a person who has always strived to give the best. I will continue to support the tricolor, because absolutely nothing can be greater!”, he wrote in the note.
