Bastian Schweinsteiger was one of the highlights of the German national team during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Although he knows about Santos" financial situation, coach Dorival Júnior has the dream of having an experienced star in his squad. In an interview with UOL Esporte, the coach revealed that he is considering the possibility of making an attempt for 32-year-old German midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger who"s currently without space at Manchester United. In 2015, Dorival Júnior did internships in Europe and met people close to the player, as well as coach Pep Guardiola, with whom Schweinsteiger worked at Bayern Munich. Currently, only Lucas Lima and Ricardo Oliveira earn more than €55,000 per month, which is the salary-cap at Santos. The salary of Schweinsteiger in Manchester is around around €11 million per year.
Dorival said: “It would be a huge wake up call for the world. My plan, which I have tried to pass on to the board of Santos, is for the club to once more have a world-class player, which we should look for in European clubs if they are not being used properly. [Schweinsteiger] fits that profile. I have not officially passed this on [to Santos" board], it is my initiative to have a player with Schweinsteiger"s history. He is not doing well in Manchester and suddenly a Brazilian club is interested in a player of his class, it could shake the market up."
