In view of this, according to “UOL Esporte”, the club from Rio de Janeiro has already sent a proposal to the Portuguese Bruno LageformerWolverhamptonand has some “cards up its sleeve” to believe that the negotiation can end positively.

According to the publication of “Globo Esporte”, the owner of the SAF of the Rio de Janeiro club, John Textor was encouraged by the first contact made with the professional’s staff, which led to optimism at the time. Despite this, Lage makes it clear that he wants to remain in Europe, which he had already stated in the negotiation with the Atlético-MGin the last month.
