Lazio sporting director Fabiani: Anderson behaved like a man and with incredible dignity and professionalism

Lazio sporting director Angelo Fabiani says the club has no issue with Felipe Anderson over his move to Palmeiras.

The midfielder has announced he will join Palmeiras in a Bosman transfer this summer.

Fabiani told RadioSei: “Felipe Anderson behaved like a man and with incredible dignity and professionalism.

"We did everything to keep him, but when he is faced with family and territorial choices there is nothing we can do. He went to Palmeiras and lost money compared to what Lazio had offered him.

"We offered him five years and a significant salary, the second or third highest in the squad. He put family at the centre of the project, he recently had a son.

"Hats off to Anderson, he's an extraordinary person. He has never raised any problems either at Lazio or in other clubs. He is the son that everyone would like."
