ESPN BR reports on Rony's contract dispute and subsequent decision to remain at Atlético-MG. Rony initially filed a complaint in court requesting contract termination due to delayed salaries at Atlético-MG. However, after discussions with the club's management, including the coach Cuca and other executives, he decided to withdraw his request and return to training. The club promised to settle the outstanding salaries for Rony and the entire team by the following Wednesday.

Rony is advancing to court to terminate his contract with Atlético Mineiro. He alleges delayed payments of bonuses, image rights, and FGTS, a monthly discount that protects Brazilian workers in case of dismissal without just cause. Rony has reportedly already said goodbye to his teammates at Atlético Mineiro. Currently, Transfermarkt estimates his market worth at 6.50 million euros.
