How is the issue of the US$50 million contribution that the Botafogo can receive? On his Instagram profile, journalist Matheus Medeiros clarified the issue, brought news and reported that a source guarantees that the investment will happen.
– Come on, let’s talk a little here, serious subject again, about the issue of the US$ 50 million contribution, which was information I brought here, it was confirmed by the newspaper O Globo, it was confirmed by ESPN. Given the situations that have been happening in recent days, in fact, the lack of resolution of the transfer banI was obviously trying to update the funding situation. And, first of all, I think we need to be very clear here to you, I spoke about the contribution of US$ 50 million, at no point did I say that the transfer ban was paid, at no point did I say that the contribution had a specific date to fall. Because a US$50 million situation, everyone knows that it is a complex document, it is a document that needs signatures, it is a document that needs to be reviewed by lawyers, it is not something that you can resolve in two, three days. I think we need to be aware of this. First thing, we need to be aware that US$ 50 million is not R$ 50 thousand reais, it is not something that you will make a Pix and it will appear in your account the next day, I think that is the first step – began Matheus Medeiros.
– And I tried to update the information, because if the contribution doesn’t happen, man, I have no problem coming here and saying like this, I made a mistake, if the contribution doesn’t happen, I made a mistake, I believed a source and it didn’t happen. Now, if the contribution happens, I’m also not going to come here saying I’m awesome, I’m this, I’m not going to do that. Simply, several news that I have already given here and that came to fruition, this source passed on to me. Regarding the issue of funding, I said, it would be more news from this source that things will materialize and I still believe that the funding situation will materialize. But I don’t feel comfortable giving a date here, saying, it’s going to happen tomorrow, it’s going to happen on such and such a day, I really don’t feel comfortable, especially because in this update I made today, I asked, has the money already entered the account? And I said no, it didn’t hit the bill and I asked, why didn’t it hit the bill? What was going on? Why didn’t the money fall? – he continued.
– Well, it’s a document, so you can understand, of more than a thousand pages, more than five groups of different lawyers are reviewing, analyzing, asking questions and this lasts a few days. Such an analysis of a document of more than a thousand pages will not happen in two, three days, it is something that takes a certain amount of time, it is the famous bureaucracy. So I asked, but will the contribution happen? “Don’t worry, it will happen and whoever is criticizing it now, the moment it happens, will say later, yes, you were really right.” So, I still believe in this source. This is the information I have at the moment and I am passing it on to you here. I repeat, if the contribution doesn’t happen, I have no problem coming here later and saying, I believed, I was wrong and I’ll think five, six times before releasing something from this source. Now, if I get it right, it will be once again that this source gave me something and it came true – he added.
Botafogo needs the contribution to resolve the financial aspect and pay off debts, such as the one owed to Atlanta United by Thiago Almada, which led to the transfer ban.
