Keirrison Promises Proper Palmeiras Farewell Before Leaving For Barca

Keirrison has stirred up a storm at Palmeiras while he patiently waits for an official word to complete his move to Barcelona.

His coach, Vanderlei Luxemburgo, has already been sacked for banishing him from the squad and lambasting his lack of professionalism, while just recently, team captain Edmilson slated the young striker for isolating himself from the rest of the team.

But 'K9' has now responded swiftly to clear up the situation to ensure he does not leave the Verdao on a sour note.

“I do want to say goodbye to everyone and I will speak to Edmilson so that he can tell to me about Barca,” he told Globoesporte.

“Everything has happened very fast and so far I have only been able to speak to two of my team-mates [Willians and Pierre] on the telephone, but I want to thank everyone for their support.”

Keirrison is expected to touch down in Barcelona on July 13 to finalize the transfer, but it is reported that he will personally address the issue with Palmeiras some time next week.

“Until then, I prefer not to say anything else,” he concluded.
