In the winter of 2019, the Brazilian striker Tete made the transition from Gremio to Shakhtar Donetsk for a compensation amount of 15 million euros, according to the portal Transfermarkt. One of the participants in the then negotiations, the president of the Brazilian club, Romildo Bolzan, in an interview with one of the local YouTube channels, spoke about the details of this transfer, and his words were cited by the local resource gremistas. net.

" We once had a conversation in my private house. He wanted to play, but the club had a rigidly built process for preparing young footballers. He tried to force his entry into the first team, which ended badly for both sides..

Its sale to Tete was extremely important for us, because we still own 15% of the rights to it.. Today we hope that he will play better and better, which will allow us to count on additional profits from its subsequent sale, "

As of now, the former Tete club is sixth in the Brazilian Serie A, 10 points behind the leader, Intersnalional..
