On Wednesday, the 1st, the midfielder posted a farewell message to the club.
“Returning home after many years, I was received with open arms. Every time I wore the Athletico shirt, I was embraced with love and respect by all the supporters. I will carry this with me forever,” wrote the player.
He added, “The time has come to follow new paths, but I leave with the certainty that my bond with CAP will never be broken. With love and gratitude, Fernandinho.”
Throughout the season, the midfielder had been negotiating a new contract to stay at the club for at least another year, but the relegation to Série B led the board not to approach him, which surprised the player.
Fernandinho returned to Furacão in 2022 after stints with Shakhtar Donetsk and Manchester City in Europe. In 117 games, he scored 13 goals and provided 15 assists, in addition to winning two state championships and being a runner-up in the 2022 Libertadores.
