André Luiz left Portuguese football. However, it continues to be a topic on Portuguese soil. This is because the player - who joined Olympiakos from Rio Ave (two clubs with the same owner, Evangelos Marinakis) - previously represented Estrela da Amadora, which holds 10 percent of the Brazilian's economic rights. In a statement, the Reboleira team stated that they cannot reveal the agreed value of the transfer. However, the tricolors add that there are certain details that remain unclear. «Estrela da Amadora was informed in writing that the aforementioned operation was completed for a certain amount, which, for reasons of contractual confidentiality, we were not authorized to disclose. However, in that same communication we were not told the percentage of the athlete's economic rights that was effectively transacted, nor the specific terms of the operation, namely the objectives, clauses or mechanisms that would allow reaching the global values that Rio Ave FC estimates could reach 9 million euros, as has been reported by the media, a value that, if confirmed, could represent the biggest operation ever by the aforementioned club", it can be read. The amateur club states that this “omission” causes “strangeness”. They also recalled that Rio Ave had received bigger proposals from clubs at national level. André Luiz, remember, was a target for Benfica, but ended up heading to Greece together with Clayton (a striker who also shone for Vilacondenses). «Such an omission causes natural strangeness, especially since Estrela da Amadora is a direct and interested party in the final result of the operation, with a clear and contractually defined economic right being recognized in a future sale of the athlete. Furthermore, it is public knowledge that, at a previous time, there were national value proposals, dependent on objectives, significantly higher than that communicated to us within the scope of this transaction, which reinforces the need for total clarity and transparency regarding the structure, assumptions and possible variables of the deal carried out», concluded Estrela in a statement.
