According to Globo Esporte Futebol, Diogo Silva expressed his frustration with the Corinthians' postura in negotiations, saying that the club "did not know how to define a value for the player, did not know how to prepare the transfer window, and now they have financial problems." The agent also criticized the club's response to offers from Nottingham Forest and Olympiacos, stating that the values requested by the Corinthians were too high and the contrapropostas were made "to not sell."
The Corinthians had previously rejected a 17 million euro offer from AC Milan in March, and since then, Nottingham Forest and Olympiacos have made offers for the player, but the values were considered insufficient. The agent believes that the Corinthians made an error in evaluating the Milan's proposal and that this will happen again until the club has people who understand how the European market works.
André will remain at Corinthians until the end of the season, with the agent stating that the player wants to play in one of the top five European leagues. The Corinthians still hopes to negotiate a transfer for the player this year, but the club's financial situation is a major concern.
