The commentator, Hélio Dea Penha, weighed in on the matter, sharing his views on the situation. He expressed desire for Gregory to remain with Botafogo, especially considering the bonds he has formed with the club. However, the looming reality of business transactions, driven by the club's ownership and the player's personal value, adds layers of complexity to the situation.

Hélio highlighted the evolving nature of Botafogo under the SAF (Sociedade Anônima do Futebol) model, which has transformed the business dynamics within Brazilian football. This model encourages the sale of players to generate revenue, given that the interests of investors often overshadow the emotional connections fans have with their favorite athletes.
