"I didn't like the offer, I thought they would offer something better," he told reporters.
"Regardless of that, you have to keep your cool to play football and let things happen naturally.
"I don't know what can happen, only God knows it. I hope I can remain calm to keep playing football."
According to reports, Ganso was offered a deal by Santos worth around £112,000 a month.
