“Right now I’m completely focused on Santos,” he told Calciomercato.it.
“We’ll see what happens at the end of my loan. I leave everything in the hands of God, but certainly I dream of wearing the Nerazzurri jersey again.
“I’d be very happy if I did. What didn’t work out for me? I chose the Nerazzurri for the project they’d proposed to me.
“I was very motivated and eager to show my worth. I arrived with a great desire to play and make history, but unfortunately things didn’t go as planned.
“My characteristics didn’t with square up with the club, but I respect them a lot. I made many new friends there, especially with my teammates, from Brazilians like Miranda and Felipe Melo to Joao Mario, who went there the same time as me.
“It was a very useful experience, despite having played little. I’m a young player, I have my whole career ahead of me, so I try to absorb everything in terms of experience.”
