"Santos" striker Neymar has openly criticized the club's decision to part ways with defender Joao Basso. According to Sport24.az, the star footballer shared this on his social media account.
Basso, 29, is out of contract with the club at the end of the year. However, the defender failed to win the trust of head coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda, so the contract was terminated by mutual agreement yesterday.
According to rumors circulating in the "Santos" camp, Neymar considered what happened unfair. He considered Basso an exemplary player. According to Neymar, Joao never spoiled the team atmosphere, even when he was on the bench.
However, the club is considering reducing the salary fund for the transfer of Lucas Verissimo. Time will tell whether this emotional outburst by the team's leader will lead to a long-term conflict with the "Santos" management.
