The proposal from CSKA included approximately 10 million euros, about R$ 59 million, plus goals, to hire Cuello. However, the Galo was not willing to lose an important player at this decisive stage of the season. Pedro Daniel stated that the salary offered by CSKA to the attacker would be considered 'irrecusable', but the deal was blocked due to an impasse over the transfer of Bruno Fuchs.
Cuello is a key player for Atlético-MG, with seven goals scored and seven assists in the current season. He is a crucial part of the team's plans to return to the Libertadores next year, one of the club's main performance goals. Pedro Daniel was cautious about the possibility of further transfers, stating that it is little probable that the Galo will make more movements before the transfer window closes on Friday.
