Corinthians president also talked about his tries for reinforcements and still criticized the delay in the construction of the stadium.

Besides the decision of breaking up with the 13 Club, other issues were part of president Andrés Sanchez' press conference on Thursday afternoon, at CT Joaquim Grava. The leader didn't beat around the bush on possible recruitments, midfielder Jucilei's departure and an unlikely Ronaldo's return to the lawns.

Questioned on a possible Luis Fabiano's arrival to the Brazilian football, who affirmed on Wednesday through his Twitter that "many things would change" after the Sevilla (ESP) elimination from the European Football League, the president preferred to rebut any possibility of a new business.

"That proposal I presented when I was crazy, I've already taken away", the agent played, who had already tried Fabulous' recruitment before the arrival of Liedson.

With regard to Carlitos Tevez return to the club, as Kia Joorabchian suggested in recent interview to TV Gazeta, Andrés guaranteed: "While I am here, it is not possible. Because if I do that, they send me to prison. Could you imagine that? Kia, Andrés' friend, brings Tevez? Heaven forbid", he let off steam.

Even on an unlikely Phenomenon's return to the lawns Andrés gave his take on saying jokingly that Ronaldo's retirement may last just during the State championship. "I've been badly busy the last days. But, now, calmly, I will try to convince him. Who knows we can get that? (Laughing)", he joked.

Jucilei's sale to the Russian football, for ten million Euros (about R$28 million), was explained by the Corinthians leader. "He cost R$2 million at that time we bought 50% (of his economical rights). The remaining part belongs to Corinthians paranaense. In the week we bought him, we sold 35% for R$ 2 million. But old J. Malucelli will give up 10, 15% and, with that, we will get 25, 30% of the value that he was sold to Russia", he affirmed.*
