"This way I can help Sao Paulo a bit more. I have always said that I want to win a title before leaving. If it happens in January, I'll be able to do that for Sao Paulo.”
However, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 international stated that he is not thinking much about his future at the moment and is fully focused on helping his national side win the Olympics.
"I'm focused on the national team. I can only say something after the Olympics. It's well underway, but not done.”
