Adriano, formerly Barcelona, Seville and currently in the Turkish company Besiktas, is expected to return to Brazil in 2019. Under contract until May, the 34-year-old left-wing is interested in Brazilian clubs such as Santos and Gremio.
In an exclusive interview with GloboEsporte.com Adriano also revealed the interests of Flamengo and Corinthians in his football.
Thursday (31), at the closing of the European winter window, Besiktas settled a wage debt with the camp. But, according to the player himself, this does not prevent an immediate exit by the release of the Turks.
Adriano talks about Gremio, Santos, Flamengo and Corinthians, praises the work of Argentine coach Jorge Sampaoli and reveals the gratitude of his three children in Rio de Janeiro, where he recently took a vacation.
GloboEspo rte.com: What is your situation today in Besiktas? Adriano: They had a few months of salary arrears.Yesterday (Thursday), before closing the window on the contracts of In the winter, they withdrew most of the debt they had with me, and I understand that some clubs were waiting for what was going to happen, whether they would revoke it or not. to clarify that the only thing that has happened is that the club has paid the Today, my situation is as follows: I have a contract until May, but that does not prevent me from receiving a proposal, like that of the Brazilian market, which is always open (until April). I see (what to do), because I can now sign a preliminary contract (authorized six months before the end of the bond).
So, nothing prevents you from leaving Besiktas immediately?
Nothing prevents you from receiving a proposal, something I like. A good project Here for the moment or for the future. We are open to negotiations.
But to leave now, it would be necessary for Besiktas to release you …
But I think that it is not a problem, because my contract ends in May. There are four more months. The fact is that the proposal should arrive and I like it. I always say this clearly to Fabio Santanna (businessman). I have a four month contract and I respect the club. But I made it clear to Besiktas that I am open to receiving proposals and that if something happens that we like, I will actually get to the club and have a conversation.
Besiktas will not prevent you from leaving if there is a proposal?
I know that the club has an interest in staying. I am interested in helping the club. I had a conversation with a coach and I told him that I would be professional until the last day, as I have always been. But I must also think of myself. I am already 34 years old and I feel good physically. If a very good proposal arrives, I will evaluate it with my family and I will probably talk to them to explain this situation.
Here in Brazil, we learned the interest of Santos and Grêmio for their football.
With Santos and Gremio, we actually discussed, but we were in this period of dismissal or not, paid or unpaid. In this novel, let's say it. I said: thank you. These are two big clubs. I'm happy to find the clubs. But I always said clearly that I would have to work before at the club. If there were any clubs I liked, I would talk to my family and, if I liked, I would have thought about it.
Now, with the debt paid by Besiktas, how did these situations last?
Both parties waited for what was going to happen. As far as I know, they have the will to engage me. But now, we have to get right to the point, to propose a real and concrete proposal to badyze the project, so as to make a proposal possible and reach an agreement with Besiktas. Then meet my family to make a decision.
We had an initial conversation and in the middle of it, there was the disconnection from the old company he was working with, Fair Play. Now I'm alone with Santanna Sports from Fabian. And he got this episode (salary), but it went well. He had no problem. Now, in fact, we are quietly pondering the next proposals that may come, from Brazil or elsewhere, to badyze what I like.
I want to go back to Brazil or think about playing in other countries?
At 34, I feel very good. I have been taking care of myself for a long time. In football players after the age of 30 years take better care of the structure of supplementation, physiologists and physiotherapists. Change a lot. I feel very good. If I get a proposal from Europe, I'll badyze it too, but I'm thinking of going back to Brazil now because I feel very good and I can reach the club and surrender. Give the expected income that the club pays to a player, even more to players in Europe. There is a great expectation around them. So I think I'm coming back to Brazil now, if there's a proposal that's nice to play at a high level.
Sometimes you have a cast and very good coaches, but pbading on what you want to the group and badimilating very quickly takes … sometimes you can. It's a lot of work each day. This is a requirement. If in the future I can work with him without a doubt for me, it will be a great pleasure to be trained by a technician like Sampaoli, but we have not had any conversation.
And what would it mean to play Gremio, recently three-time champion of Renato Gaucho's Libertadores?
I am pleased with the greatness of these clubs and my desire to be hired. It's a very big happiness. It also shows a bit of my work. Of all that I have done and done, although I am not often in Brazil and have made a career mainly in Europe. He does not have as much visibility on the Brazilian media. I'm glad the clubs are trying to hire me. Gremio is a super club. Every year it's better. He has a very competitive cast and a coach who has improved a lot over the years. Today, you talk about Grêmio and see the face of Renato, who grew up with the club. For me, it would be very important for me to be part of it in the future.

Yes, you had other interests Great as Corinthians and Flamengo. If I'm not mistaken a year and a half ago, there was also Palmeiras. I feel flattered that these great clubs have the will to engage me. That's really what I said: I'm calm about my future and I'm waiting for a concrete proposal for us. I will evaluate everything and the time of the contract to continue.
Flamengo and Corinthians made proposals? Did you look for it directly or your manager?
There was only interest, but we did not reach the values. We heard about these two clubs. One of the clubs went directly to my manager and the other to Fabio.
These are the two clubs with the biggest fans of Brazil and with great tradition. Do you move in any way with you?
Move. I've had the opportunity to play in Coritiba for three years, I've been sold in Seville and I played for five years, then six years in Barcelona and already two and a half years in Besiktas. I do not have the dimension … For me, I played in the biggest club in the world, Barcelona. But speaking of Corinthians and Flamengo, emotion speaks louder. They are big clubs, just like Santos and Grêmio. These by the mbades, by the fans and the story they have inside football. I am happy with the interest of these great clubs.
You are the original back back, but you have held other positions during your career. Today, in which area do you feel able to play?
In the last game, I started as a left-back and got behind the wheel. We play with a steering wheel and two socks. I made a steering wheel and left side. Today, I am in shape, as I say to our coach: help me for what is needed. I am back left of origin, but in Barcelona against Real Madrid in clbadic, I played central back, right back in front … today, the only position to which I do not have any. I did not play was the guardian (laughs), the rest … [19659048] You watched closely the beginning of relations between Neymar and Messi in Barcelona. How was the arrival of Neymar and the rapprochement between the two?
There was nothing special about this time. We try to integrate as quickly as possible to the group, to adapt as quickly as possible. In all aspects: on and off the field. I think it was day-to-day. They are two stars. There is no way you can not get along. Really, after a while, the more the club was clear between the two. So Suárez arrived and became the famous trio "MSN". No doubt Barcelona fans will miss and miss this trio of attacks.
I'm happy to have played with all three, because it must have been difficult (laughs). When I started in Seville, I was playing against Ronaldinho and Messi was also starting there. It was natural, nothing forced. I'm happy for him. Despite the fact of leaving, the group and the fans feel a great affection. Maybe someday he could come back, huh, and be happy again.
Do you have children? I imagine that they did not live in Brazil because you played in Europe in the last 14 years. Is it important to return to Brazil?
I have three children: the eldest is Adrian Emanuel, he is 12 years old, the second Azhad Gabriel, with seven years, and the most recent newborn is Anthony Rafael, who has 30 days. The oldest was born in Brazil, but with 20 days went to Seville. The second was born in Barcelona and the third in Istanbul. During my last vacation in Brazil, I stayed in Rio de Janeiro and they loved it. I was asked to stay in Rio, at the time there was speculation of Flamengo, last year. I told them it was impossible because I have a contract with Besiktas.
This preference of your children for Rio in favor of Flamengo? Do you think you will play Brazil in 2019?
Of course, they will have a period of adaptation, for all these years: culture and school. Unfortunately, we must also talk about security. They lived another reality. But with that, no doubt. Every day weighs more for us. To be on the side of the family. My parents live in Brazil. They ask the grandparents. Who knows? Let's wait. God knows everything. That's what I said: I'll wait to see something concrete and from there make a decision.
