The talks started in May and had a happy ending for Hurricane. “It is fulfilling an Athletico dream, to return to his home. We kept in touch all these years, since he was sold to Shaktar Donetsk.

“It will help us in this level change that we are working on. Getting Fernandinho in was not easy. He showed from the first moment that his intention was to return to Athletico. But the pressure of the whole world and of several Brazilian clubs, wanting to have him in the group… He remained faithful, the good son to the house makes – completed the president of Athletico”, completed.
