The Brazilian pivot, who has won every possible trophy with the Barcelona club, announces that he will not renew his contract and that he will leave at the end of the season
The indoor soccer section of Barça is experiencing intense moments. If on Saturday Sergio Lozano, the leader, reappeared at the Palau Blaugrana after recovering from his fourth knee operation, today Ferrão, the other great reference of the team in the last decade, has announced that he will not continue at the club from June The pivot of Chapecó, who is about to return to the courts after suffering a rupture of the Achilles tendon, expresses his love for the club where he has made all his dreams come true, but recognizes that it is time to change ‘aires: “I could stay, but the most beautiful stories end when they are at the top and here I have achieved everything I wanted and it is time to say goodbye.” Despite this, Ferrão assures that he still wants to win more titles and score more goals with Barça until the end of the campaign.
His letter of thanks: “Very good people and futsal fans. First of all you should know that I have great respect for all the love you have always given me and for that I want to tell you something important and I want let me know: next season I will no longer play for Barça.
All cycles come to an end, and mine at the club, which has been a fantastic cycle and the best years of my sporting life without a doubt, will end next June 30.
I have been so happy at Barça and with all of you that I think you deserve an explanation and the truth. And there is nothing to hide here for either party. I love Barça and I feel very loved by Barça. But now it’s time to separate our lives and it’s for the best for all of us. The truth? I could stay, but the most beautiful stories end when they are at the top and here I have achieved everything I wanted and it is time to say goodbye.
In ten seasons at Barça I have won every possible title, I have enjoyed playing at the Palau with the best atmosphere in the world, always feeling the affection of the fans and the Dragons. I gave everything for this shirt. Believe me, everything is everything! And I can say above all that I have been very happy and I feel very grateful to the club and the fans for everything we have achieved together, which is no small thing.
Here I have won every possible title, I have scored more than 300 goals with Barça and I have been chosen three times in a row as the best player in the world, achievements that would never have been possible without wearing this shield on my chest and always having the best on my side side, great colleagues and friends that I will always carry in my heart.
It hasn’t all been pretty, it’s true, I’ve also suffered with injuries but I’ve also always managed to get back to the highest level and soon you’ll see me back on the slopes. I still have some titles and goals left to score at Barça and, watch out for Búfal not to pass you by!
And also in these difficult moments, Barça has supported me and together we have managed to overcome everything. Until the last moment.
I am very proud of everything I have done at Barça and my family and I, including Martina, my Catalan daughter, will be Culers forever.
I love you and feel that the Palace will always be my home. And that’s why I’m sure the relationship won’t break even if I leave. Because Barça is my life and will be forever.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
