Former Doyen CEO Nélio Lucas confirmed on Tuesday the payment of 700 thousand euros to the company of which Alexandre Pinto da Costa was a part for the transfer of the Brazilian footballer Casemiro from FC Porto to Real Madrid.
The information was provided during the hearing of the businessman at the 26th session of the ‘Football Leaks’ trial, at the Central Criminal Court in Lisbon, and validated documents issued in 2016 by the platform created by Rui Pinto, in which he paid a commission of 1.26 million euros to Vela Management, a company linked to Nélio Lucas, which subsequently paid 700,000 euros to Energy Soccer, of which Alexandre Pinto da Costa was a partner.
“True, he was a partner of the company in Portugal,” said Nélio Lucas, in response to Rui Pinto’s lawyers.
Subsequently, already outside the court, the former administrator of the investment fund reiterated his “pride” in the negotiation with the son of the president of FC Porto.
“Alexandre Pinto da Costa is a businessman like any other, he has done business with me and I am proud of the business I have done with him. If I can do more with him, I will,” he told reporters.
The words of Nélio Lucas diverge somewhat from the recent statements of Pinto da Costa, who, in an interview with TVI, on 15 October, explained that his son is not involved in the away matches of the ‘bianconero’ club.
“Today he has no connection with FC Porto, except as a partner, 52 years ago, who joined the day he was born. Today, in his business, he is a football entrepreneur. He does not do business with us, nor can he do so.” . , then summed up the Porto leader.
