Striker Rony had a busy week due to the recent financial and legal disputes with Atlético
It’s been a busy week for Rony, who has taken legal action against Atlético over late payment of salaries and other labor rights. This Thursday (July 25), after the club’s qualification against Bucaramanga in the Copa Sudamericana, the striker opened up about his future career. “I heard about the offer in the locker room, but I deny it.
It’s no secret that I dream of playing in Saudi Arabia, in Qatar; it’s a dream of mine, but it hasn’t happened. There’s been a lot of talk that Rony is forcing things because of an offer from Saudi Arabia. If that were the case, we wouldn’t have reached an agreement. That’s not what happened. I’m here because I love wearing this jersey,” the striker declared regarding rumors that he would leave Atlético for a Qatari team.
On Tuesday (July 22), Minas Gerais sports news exploded after it emerged that Rony had requested a termination of his contract with Atlético. On Thursday, the player denied making the request but avoided going into details about the legal action. According to the striker, the idea was just to solve problems after Galo delayed paying salaries.
“It wasn’t even a request for termination, but rather some aspects of rights that everyone, all professionals, has. We know that we often have the right to request certain things, and that’s what happened. But together with the board, we managed to resolve the issue, not just mine, but the athletes’ as well,” he said.
