Planes for Giay
From the beginning, the club has adopted a medium to long -term strategy for the player’s development. The technical committee led by Abel Ferreira and the board of directors already hoped that Giay faced initial difficulties, due to the young age, the adaptation to Brazilian football and the change of country.
The hiring of the side still in 2024 was thought of as an anticipation of the transition in the position, as Marcos Rocha is in the straight end of his career and Mayke has lived with injuries that prevent him from following. The second is even the target of Santos to the window.
