According to information from the portal “Uol Esporte”, Hernani received official contact from Peixe in recent days. However, the midfielder turned down the possibility as he saw his family adapted to life in Europe. According to him, now is not the time to return to Brazil. Thus, Santos backed down from negotiations and put the player’s name on hold.
The other name aired behind the scenes at Vila Belmiro was that of Leo Cittadini, who worked with Paulo Turra at Athletico-PR. Revealed in Santos’ base categories, the player had the possibility of a vetoed return. In the Management Committee’s analysis, the troubled departure of the midfielder in 2018 and the technical view of the athlete weighed in on the board’s refusal.
