CEO Ignites Negotiations with Athletes from Athletico and Coritiba

The chief executive officer of the Fortaleza football club, Marcelo Paz, expressed feelings of betrayal during a press conference on Monday (19). He stated that the negotiations with Coritiba involving the midfielder Bruno Gomes, and with Ponte Preta, involving Felipinho, did not go as expected.

He went on to say that both athletes, formerly of Alviverde and Ponte respectively, were sold to different teams despite having prior discussions with Fortaleza. Bruno Gomes was sold to Internacional, while Felipinho was bought by Athletico. According to Paz, both players had agreed to terms with Fortaleza prior to their abrupt departure.
