"I haven't signed with any team yet, I haven't said 'yes' to any team and I won't do it until after the Copa America. I have given my word out of respect for the Brazilian national team," he said in a statement to Fox Sports.
Although his agreement with Flamengo is all but confirmed, the left-back had a message for his fans: "I ask for patience from the fans of Flamengo and all the journalists who want to know the future of all the players who are here, many are going to change teams, but speculations do not help".
The situation is still surprising as to what will happen to Filipe Luis, since not only Barcelona is waiting, as Monaco has also joined the list of pretenders.
