Santos, worried about Rodrygo's noncontradiction

[Warlock-]

The club 'peixe' has not received from the CBF notification of the release of the Real Madrid player, who had been summoned for the Tournament of Toulon.

Santos lives with uncertainty the last days of Rodrygo (18 years) in the Paulista club before joining Real Madrid. The forward had been summoned by the Brazilian Olympic team to play in France the Maurice Revello Tournament (formerly known as the Toulon Tournament) from June 1 to 15. In principle, the CBF had released the player, but the Peixe entity has not received official confirmation of such a recall, reports Globoesporte. In the same situation are Atlético Paranaense with Renan Lodi (21) and in France Lille with Thiago Maia (22) and Gabriel (22). The football player's vacation also depends on his attendance or not on the selection.

In the absence of notification, Santos fears that Rodrygo's lack of assistance with the national team could result in a penalty for improper alignment during the FIFA round of dates (June 3-11). Santos has a double commitment against Atlético Mineiro in those nine days: on Thursday 6 (early morning of Friday the 7th in Spain) in the Brazilian Cup match and on Sunday the 9th in the 8th round of the Brasileirao, both in São Paulo state fiefdom.

The concern lies in the interpretation of Annex I of the Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players of FIFA, which sti[CENSORED]tes that clubs are obliged to release their players for matches that appear in the international calendar. That norm refers to "the parties that appear in the international calendar". The Maurice Revello Tournament in which the Olympic Seleçao is participating is not official nor is it within the international calendar, but the partial coincidence of the tournament with the dates of the FIFA window raises the question. The presence of Rodrygo with the national team also affects his holidays. If he finishes the season with Santos, he will play his last game of albinegro on Wednesday the 12th. Had he gone with the national team, he could have prolonged his participation in competition until Saturday 15, when the final of the tournament is being played by his teammates in the Olympic Games. They are playing in France.
