Petraglia beats her foot and all veterans must leave Athletico

Athletico lives very busy days. And sudden changes of decision. Not that this is much different from what has been seen in the nearly 30 years of Petraglia, but the winds are changing direction quickly. And what was right yesterday could be wrong today. It all depends on the humor of President Mário Celso Petraglia, who personally leads the reformulation of the cast of Hurricane. And even the team's top player must say goodbye.

After returning in 2022 for a glorious career outcome, Fernandinho should not continue at Athletico. And beyond melancholy. What was a frank relationship with Mário Celso Petraglia turned the silence in the contractual discussion. As it is known, Paulo Autuori – in his famous interview – came with a "pre-contract" conversation with his shirt 5. Only there's nothing like that, showing the degree of unpreparedness of the old management of red-black football.

The relationship between Athletico and Fernandinho has gone a long way in recent weeks, despite the reckless sacrifice of the steering wheel when playing without being fully recovered from a serious injury. Since the demotion, the club has not sought the player to renew. The result was the non-representation of shirt 5, which only returns to Curitiba on January 9, the starting date of the athletes' return. Shortly after the throat, Hurricane changed the return of the cast to the 26th, the last Thursday.

Athletico expands the boat

If Fernandinho wasn't wanted, Thiago Heleno was. And he did not accept the proposal for drastic reduction of salary to continue at Athletico in 2025.. He returned to the club on Thursday, but he's no longer in preseason. Situation similar to Pablo's, which was removed from the preparation in the C.T. of Cashew by decision of President Mário Celso Petraglia. The centeravante agreed to reduce the salary, but the winds changed direction. Both also return on the 9th to define a contractual termination.

And Nikon definitely doesn't matter. He hasn't returned to practice and will be free in the ball market on the 31st, when he finishes his contract with the Sao Paulo. As Madson and Gabriel have already left, and Mastriani will not stay at Athletico (at least it is Petraglia's decision at the moment), Hurricane will have no player over 30 in the cast for 2025. A radical change, like so many that have taken place since December 9.
