André Cury:
“Very good, very good. I have known Deco for many years. In 1998 I brought him to Europe and signed him with the Portuguese Second-Division-side Alverca. He is a very good friend of mine is Laporta. Barcelona is a second home for me, but a few months later is because of the same problems-so Palmeir is also confused, it is also unworkable, it is also unworked. to pay back Barça – and they can even earn more, because they retain a percentage of every future sale. “
About how much Dembélé could have cost in the first instance:
André Cury:
“We could have signed Dembélé before his value shot up. In Rennes, his release clause was only € 5 million, but his agent asked for more than € 10 million for commissioned. Even today that is an incredibly high rate. Dembélé did not want to come to Dortmond. Neymar left.”
About how Vinicius could have been at Barça:
André Cury:
“We met Vinicius and his agent at their request, while I was still working for Barça. We wanted to sign him. Everything was ready – just wait for the signature. But in the end his family and agent changed thoughts. The process was not very transparent, but it is what it is. That is football.”
On the departure of Neymar from Barça:
André Cury:
“Dembélé, Coutinho and Griezmann cost more than € 450 million combined, while Neymar's transfer yielded € 222 million. If you add committees, it might have been better to raise the salary of Neymar. I will give you € 30 million – here. Part of his wages.
