The Paraguayan forward Ángel Romero, a fan favorite and a significant figure in the club's recent history, had his departure announced after not renewing his contract. In his farewell message on social media, the athlete made sure to highlight his relationship with Timão and the fans:

Recognition

Many fans commented on Romero's farewell, praising the history built by the Paraguayan at the club. “Thank you for everything, idol! We will love you forever. You made history at Timão and we will never forget you. I wish you much success on your journey,” said one fan. “My idol forever. Maximum respect, I already miss you,” added another fan.

Romero's Farewell

Corinthians, I came to you with dreams in my eyes and a heart full of desire, not knowing exactly what awaited me. It was here that I learned that this jersey is not left behind, it is carried. That every game is a battle, every minute is dedication, every step on the field has meaning.

You taught me to be strong when it was difficult, to get up when I fell, to return when it seemed easier to give up. We lived together moments that I will never forget. Goals, titles, nights when the arena turned into voice, turned into soul, turned into chills. In each of them, I felt, I belonged.

By your side, I grew, I entered as a player with dreams and left as a man marked by history. Today, the cycle within the four lines ends. None of this would have been possible without the fans, my teammates, and the staff who participated over this time. Without this love that explains us, only felt. Today, our paths are different, but some stories have no farewell.

Thank you for transforming me, thank you for choosing me. You are great, Corinthians. Keep strong and fighting against those who do not wish you well. You will be with me forever. Corinthians is my life, my history, my love.
