The media circus can now come to an end. Soteldo will not play for Santos again, confirmed the club's head coach: "We didn't want it to be, but it was Soteldo's final game".
"We knew that it was a possibility. He is a very important player for us and he will move on for economic reasons. We have to understand", Cuca told 'TNT'.
Soteldo will leave to join Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia. Without a good enough offer from the Brazilian club, Stoeldo felt that he had no choice.
He did at least score in his final game. he earned Santos the win with a panenka penalty in the second half.
