Deyverson has been excluded from Cuiabá's upcoming matches due to a series of disciplinary issues that include his behavior during training, in matches, and allegations of having committed to another club, planning to leave on a free transfer in July.
This has sparked considerable controversy within the club and has drawn public attention due to the nature of the allegations and the player's significant profile.
Cristiano Dresch, the president of Cuiabá, detailed the reasons behind the disciplinary action. "This isn't a spontaneous decision; there were several incidents that led to this point. It started with minor episodes in training, then escalated during the pre-game and the actual game in Goiânia," Dresch explained. He vehemently denied rumors that the decision to sideline Deyverson was communicated in an unprofessional setting, clarifying that these reports were false and aimed at destabilizing the team. "These claims about being sidelined at lunch or at the airport are misleading. Deyverson, as an adult and a family man, must adhere to the club’s discipline, not the other way around."
The situation with Deyverson has drawn parallels to notable cases in European football, such as Kylian Mbappé's contract situation at PSG. "Deyverson is attempting to do what Mbappé did at PSG; he's waiting out his contract to secure a commission from his next club," Dresch added. The president also revealed that Santos had made a three-year contract proposal to Deyverson, which was declined because Deyverson reportedly already has a verbal agreement with another club, planning to sign a pre-contract in July. "There’s a significant fee involved in this pre-contract, which isn’t surprising given his age and the need to secure his financial future," Dresch noted.
This unfolding scenario highlights the complexities and strategic maneuvers often involved in football contracts and transfers, particularly with players nearing the end of their careers. Deyverson's case serves as a reminder of the intricate balance clubs must maintain between managing player careers and ensuring team discipline and cohesion. As the situation develops, the impact on Cuiabá’s team dynamics and Deyverson's career trajectory will be closely watched.
