WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Fernandes said: "It was a very ambitious proposal. The president was a fantastic person. We never discussed the amount - with my agent, of course. Then I spoke to my wife and family and she asked me what my personal goals were in my career. She is someone who always supported me a lot. It was an easy move, even at a family level. I had Joao Cancelo there, my children are used to playing with him in the national team. We have a great friendship. But I want to maintain myself at the highest level, playing in the big competitions. And I feel capable of it."</p>
