After the draw against Juventude in the Campeonato Gaúcho, Portuguese coach Luís Castro revealed that the player asked to leave the club.

Grêmio’s vice president of football, Antonio Dutra Júnior, confirmed that the contract termination process was carried out “amicably.” With stints at Corinthians, Internacional, and Atlético-MG, the 36-year-old player played 91 matches for Imortal, with nine goals and nine assists.

“It was an amicable departure, we understand the context that led him to this decision. Grêmio accepts, respects, and wishes him success,” said the executive in a press conference.
