"This season, we were always asking him when he would sign a new contract: ‘Come on, we want you to sign and stay with us’. We didn’t expect him to go," said the midfielder, who plays alongside Firmino for the Brazil national team.
"He’s 31 years old so he has a lot to do. He can still play his best football at that age, he’s young.
"We didn’t expect this decision to be made but he had to go and sometimes we saw that he was not happy because of the injuries as well. He’s someone who usually doesn’t get injured and he struggled a little bit with the injuries.
"We already know he won’t stay, it was an emotional week for all of us and the only thing is I wish the very best for him and his family."
