Fina called Gremio. This Wednesday, the midfielder played his last match in the tricolor jersey in the standings in a 4-3 penalty shootout victory over Bahia, in the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil. The player leaves for Arab football and confirmed his exit from the mixed zone.
It is a great honor to wear this shirt. It is difficult to speak at this moment, some words are missing. Grêmio embraced me at a difficult time in my career. I will not talk about the team, but it is there (the Arab world). I’m taking a lot of the good stuff, a very good bunch reaping the rewards, we knew it was going to be the year of the recast. I’m sure we will be champions. I’ll be in the crowd from afar, – said Fina in the mixed zone.
The No. 11 did not want to reveal which team he would defend in the Middle East, but confirmed that it was his farewell to Gremio. In total, Vina spent five months at the club and made 28 appearances, with four goals and one assist, and is the champion of Rio Grande do Sul.
Fina has been on loan by Ciara since February. Grêmio will receive a display fee equal to the amount spent on the midfielder’s salaries.
– It was a personal wish, not to play abroad at the age of 32. Having this possibility is something that was missing in my career. One of the most difficult decisions of my career. I was happy here, but I needed it for my career, for my family. I’m going there to fulfill another dream and the crowd stays – it’s complete.
