"In my mind, I never thought this cycle would end. But some people wanted and made it happen. It's part of it, I went to seek new challenges and I am extremely happy with everything that has happened to me and my family this past year," he wrote.

Revealed by Corinthians in 2006, Fagner returned to the club after a stint in Europe and built a remarkable history: 11 consecutive seasons, five titles, and participation in the 2018 World Cup. "The time has come to say goodbye to this club where I spent a large part of my life. I made it to the list of the 10 who wore the jersey the most, played 578 games, won titles, and lived everything intensely," he highlighted.

Despite the frustration with his departure, the player made a point of valuing his time at Corinthians. "I can only thank everyone who lived with me at Corinthians, employees, athletes, directors, technical staff, and fans. I leave with my head held high, certain that I did my best and learned a lot, as a man and a professional," he concluded.
