Palmeiras announce Arias, who explains move in open letter | OneFootball

Announced this Saturday as a new addition to Palmeiras, Jhon Arias published an open letter to fans on social media to explain his decision to leave Wolverhampton and return to Brazil.

Six months after stating that if he returned to the country, he would play for Fluminense, the Colombian will be wearing a different Brazilian football jersey.

The negotiation was concluded after Fluminense was unable to meet the financial demands of Wolverhampton. Palmeiras agreed to pay 25 million euros (around R$ 155 million), in an installment agreement over four years, to finalize the signing. In the letter published on social media, Arias acknowledged the weight of his previous statements and highlighted the circumstances surrounding this career decision.

“I am experiencing an important moment in my career. I know the weight of my words, of what I say and think. At the same time, life and football are very dynamic. Considering what was truly possible at this moment, and what was in my hands, I had to make decisions,” he wrote.

The player also stated that he is starting a new professional chapter, thanking “everyone who truly supports me.”
