Brazil's Diego is leaving the club and does not rule out the possibility of continuing his career in his homeland.
The leaders of the German team included the defender in the list of players for sale, as in the last round of the national championship, where the issue of maintaining elite status was being decided, he refused to sit on the bench. The defender was angered by the coach's decision not to let him onto the field, and the club fined him as much as 500 thousand euros.
"I think there might be news next week," said 26-year-old Diego to "Globoesporte." "Botafogo" is showing interest, but no agreement has been reached yet.
"I understand that by returning to Brazil I would be closer to the national team. And that is very important."
Indeed, Diego admitted that he has also received attention from European teams.
