Carlinhos Bala's Possible Early Vacation

Carlinhos Bala has expressed his support for Nelsinho's early vacation plans, but has said that he will refuse an early vacation until he knows what his future holds. Carlinhos has a contract with Cruzeiro until May of next year, and both Corinthians and Palmeiras have expressed interest in his services. In January he said that he wanted to finish his career with Sport, and my understanding was that Sport had agreed to terms with Cruzeiro to buy the player, but apparently not. He is an important player, even if he doesn't score goals like he used to. He keeps himself in perfect physical condition, he does whatever it takes to help the team (including playing fairly well as a right fullback in a couple of games), and his interviews are the source of merriment. Finding a way to keep him on the team would be an excellent start to Sport's Libertadores preparations.
