Shakhtar Donetsk winger Alisson Santana, born in 2005, gave a lengthy interview to tuttomercatoweb.com ahead of the Champions League match against Inter. The young Brazilian spoke about his excitement at the prospect of playing at a stadium like San Siro:
"I know the stadium. I have watched many matches played there on TV. I have always liked it and have always dreamed of playing there. I will be delighted to have this opportunity. I hope we will do well there."
The Brazilian talent then spoke about whether any Italian clubs had ever approached him and whether he would like to play in Italy in the future:
"My agent and the club deal with these matters, but it is clear that there are many great clubs in Italy. I really like AC Milan; they have had many Brazilians in the past. It would be an honour to play in Italy, but you never know: the future is in God's hands."
