On the eve of a tricky trip to Brest for his team, which will conclude the 22nd round of Ligue 1 on Sunday night, Gattuso was questioned by journalists about the sale of the former Atletico Madrid player.
The Italian coach was keen to correct rumors suggesting possible animosity towards the club’s management regarding Lodi’s departure. “I would like to make a clarification. I have read several things about Renan Lodi. What was written was false. Renan Lodi, he wanted to leave. He was offered a good contract in Saudi Arabia. I read that I was angry with the club. I’m not angry with anyone. When the player doesn’t want to stay, because he’s been offered triple the salary elsewhere, and the player doesn’t want to be there 100%, I think it’s just right for him to leave. That’s the truth,” declared the Italian tactician.
This clear and unequivocal statement by Gennaro Gattuso thus puts an end to speculation surrounding Renan Lodi’s departure.
