Santos: Marcelo Teixeira denies Neymar Pai's interest in the club's SAF
Since Santos signed an exclusive agreement with the North American company SDC Sports LLC, it has taken an important step towards becoming SAF (Sociedade Anônima do Futebol). From Neymar Pai to the Colombian family Santo Domingo, the black and white beach player tends to receive some interested parties.
However, during CNN Esportes S/A this Sunday (7), Marcelo Teixeira, president of Santos, denied anyone interested, including Colombian Alejandro Santo Domingo.
It can become a SAF. My obligation as president, when I took over, was to have the power to give Santos the status of an associative club. That's what Santos is doing. Parallel to this, we have the possibility of transforming the SAF. So, let me make it clear, we never talked to Alejandro (Santo Domingo) and we never had any contact.

Despite denying the participation of the Colombian and Neymar Pai, Teixeira stated that there is an interested group and that they are working to change the statute of the club's Deliberative Council, increasing the shares of a possible SAF at Santos from 49% to 90%.
We have an interested group. The amendment regarding the SAF part has already passed and we will also wait for the Deliberative Council to schedule the meeting with the association board. We have to understand that, as soon as the membership understands that the club should become a SAF, it is something very professional and we must have the possibility for this group to manage this percentage so that the group has the conditions and the club itself achieves the results of a financial investment commensurate with what is being proposed.

Marcelo Teixeira admitted that Neymar Pai does important work for Santos in this restructuring process, but that there is no possibility of him being an investor in SAF.
No possibility. Neymar's father and the companies work with Santos within this restructuring process, bringing partners, ensuring that Neymar plays in Brazil, continues to defend Santos and now the Brazilian National Team.
