At the time he did not hide his desire to transfer, as he imagined that this way he would win the Champions League he had dreamed of. However the objective was never achieved.

After a surprising spell at Ajax and a magnificent performance in the Champions League, the Brazilian winger received a line of interested parties, but among all the proposals the one that really caught his attention was that of the giants Manchester United.
