TThe incident involving Gianluca Prestiani and Vincius Junior continues to generate media coverage and public debate. Benfica’s players’ aides have decided to come forward amid reports of an investigation and possible sanctions by UEFA. Gaston Ferndes, the player’s agent, gave an exclusive interview to the media outlet “Win-Win” and clarified his client’s position.
Ferndes, a former River Plate footballer and current young agent for the Argentina national team, highlighted the announcements made in recent days. “Everything published about what Gianluca Prestiani actually said during the UEFA investigation is false,” he said. In this statement, the agent denied reports pointing to specific statements made by the player in the context of the proceedings held after the incident.
The player’s agent also denied that there had been any official communication regarding possible sanctions. “No one has formally contacted us regarding possible sanctions in relation to this matter,” he said, adding that he had not received any formal notification from the relevant authorities to date.
The only thing that matters to us is to provide our players with peace of mind and peace of mind
Following Benfica’s previous statement, Fernandes explained that it was not his intention to prolong the controversy. “We do not intend to continue this matter any further. We have already made it clear that what happened is not what they tried to present or portray in relation to Gianluca. From now on, all that is important for us is to provide security and peace to the player,” he stressed. In the end, the agent concluded, “Once this is all said and done, I will think carefully to make the best decision.”
