The assessment that the acquisition of Neymar from Santos played a role in the … freeze of the Brazilian team’s interest was made by Niklas Eliason. AEK’s ace spoke to Swedish media on this issue and concluded that he was happy with his stay in AEK.
In detail the statements of Eliason:
On whether he would make the trip to Brazil:
“My mother comes from there and so I followed this championship. But I have a long contract in AEK and I like it there. It’s a good environment for me and my family. There are always rumors from here and there, but I like where I am. ”
Whether the acquisition of Neymar “froze” contacts with Santos:
“Exactly, they probably had no money left in this case … but yes, he went there. Of course it is an incredibly big event for himself and Brazilian football in general. It has been the largest star in Brazil and has become a headline in what it has done. For the Brazilian championship it is incredibly big that it has returned. I don’t think it influenced the discussions. There were discussions, but I don’t think we would have been hired for the same position in this case. ”
On whether he would rather leave AEK and fight with Neymar:
“No, I feel happy to stay in AEK.”
