Fernando Luiz Rosa, popularly known as 'Fernandinho' will return to Brazil after almost 20 years away. At the age of 37, the midfielder believes the time has come for him to return.
The last season at Manchester City has clearly relegated him to the background. For this reason, both parties took the decisio to part ways on a journey that began in the 2013-14 season.
His destination will be Athletico Paranaense, where he began to excel when he was just 18 years old. This was confirmed by journalist Fabrizio Romano, who has already confirmed the deal.
The Sky Blues have done their job in time and have already agreed the arrival of Kalvin Phillips at the Etihad. In this way, Fernandinho will say goodbye to Europe, where he also excelled with Shakhtar Donetsk.
