The Brazilian Paulista, who left Beşiktaş saying "My mother is sick," stated that transfer talks had started earlier after signing with Corinthians. Paulista's words, "This is my dream," reignited discussions regarding the separation process.
The Brazilian footballer Paulista, who requested leave from Beşiktaş on the grounds of "My mother is ill, I need to go to my country" and subsequently had his contract terminated, made headlines after signing with his new team. Paulista's statements regarding the transfer process to Corinthians led to comments that contradicted the reasons for his departure.
THE SEPARATION PROCESS FROM BEŞIKTAŞ BACK ON THE AGENDA
After wearing the Beşiktaş jersey for 1.5 years, Paulista requested leave to go to his home country Brazil, citing his mother's illness, and it was reported that his contract was terminated at the end of the process. The player's signing with Corinthians shortly after reopened discussions about the separation process.
MESSAGE OF "WE STARTED DISCUSSIONS EARLIER" AT THE CORINTHIANS SIGNING
It was reported that Paulista stated during the signing ceremony at Corinthians that the transfer negotiations began before he left Beşiktaş. This statement was interpreted by the public as raising "questions about the reasons for the separation."
“THIS IS MY DREAM” WORDS CAUGHT ATTENTION
In his post-signing statement, Paulista described his choice of Corinthians with an emphasis on "dream." The Brazilian player reportedly said, "I received offers from many clubs, but I chose Corinthians... I waived my contract with Beşiktaş because this place is more valuable to me. This is my dream." It was also noted that Paulista did not mention his mother's health condition in his speech.
“I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR THIS JERSEY”
Paulista stated that Corinthians is the "biggest club" in his career and sent a strong message to his new club with his words, "I would do anything for this jersey. If I need to give my life on the field, I will do that too."
