In a recent press conference, Augusto Melo, president of Corinthians, openly addressed the club's financial challenges, but reinforced its commitment to maintain and value key players such as attacking Wesley, coveted by European clubs.
Defying Crisis with Courage and Transparency
Augusto Melo admitted that the Corinthians faces a financially "complicated" period, with monthly deficits difficult to cover due to interest charges. "Great clubs want Wesley from Europe, and we're resisting without a real one in the register. But I have the courage to hold on, value the athlete," Melo said, highlighting the importance of protecting promising talents for the future of the club.
Commitment to Athletes
The president also highlighted recent efforts to regulate late payments, such as image rights and FGTS, demonstrating fiscal responsibility and commitment to the well-being of players. "I had a meeting with athletes and I said I'd pay all the retards the first chance. And we did that. We are gradually relieving this delay," Melo explained, promising that all to-dos would be resolved by Thursday.
Firmness in Face of Political Challenges
About the possibility of impeachment, Augusto Melo proved confident and challenging. "Impeachment doesn't exist. You have no reason to. That's five questions, I don't even think about it. No one is going to strike," he said, stating that he was elected democratically and that he is focused on correcting mistakes and not disappointing the fans.
