KLEBERSON SEEMS SENSIBLE

But then who wouldn’t?
The media officer at his current club, Atletico Paranaense,
told PA International:
"Both teams could be possible, but Kleberson prefers
Manchester. Petraglia (Atletico President) will be back in
Brazil by Friday, and we expect to have an agreement by that
time."
The man himself said:
"It's a dream for me to play in England. I believe I'm ready
for this challenge. Gilberto Silva of Arsenal talks of how
well contested the matches are in the Premiership.
"In Brazil, the game is more based on individual skills. In
England, teams play quicker and with more tactical
awareness.
"All people yearn for new conquests. I have conquered
everything with Atletico. I started at the club where I grew
up and conquered all the challenges. I was champion of the
Brazilian state and I won the World Cup while representing
the colours of Atletico. But I believe that my next
objective is Europe,"
The Sun report that he will be paid £40’000 per week on a 5
year contract.
