I wanted to make my own decision, thinking about myself and my family. I heard that LaLiga accepted everything, that it was ok to come back, but there were many other things missing as well. I heard that they had to sell players or lower salaries, and the truth is that I didn’t want to go through that. I was afraid of going through the same thing again. I’m also in a moment where I want to get out of focus a little, think more about my family. I spent two years so bad at the family level that I didn’t enjoy“, he completed.
