“Yes, the truth is that we have good communication with Rafa. We have been talking with him and with Carlos Souza, his agent and right now, everything has been put on pause again due to the Covid situation they are going through, the safest thing is that Australia does not play. So, we are going to resume the conversation in the first 15 days of January and hopefully it will happen. The truth is that Rafa is from home, he can come and go whenever he wants, “said the manager in an interview with ESPN.
