Full-back bids farewell to Ceará and returns to a club in Portugal.

Fabiano Souza played 48 games for Alvinegro.

Right-back Fabiano Souza , who was at Ceará , said goodbye to the club after the end of his loan. Having a contract with Moreirense-POR , the player spoke about his departure on social media.

Fabiano arrived at Ceará in January 2025. He played 48 games that season, providing two assists. Despite the club’s interest, the purchase became financially unfeasible after the team’s relegation to Série B.

— Immense gratitude for the experience of playing for the first time for a professional club in the country where I was born and in a Série A, which is certainly one of the most competitive leagues in the world. Thank you Ceará SC, you are a giant club with an incredible and passionate fanbase — wrote the athlete on social media.

On the left, Matheus Bahia and Nicolas left Ceará. No signings have been announced so far, but there is an agreement to buy Fernando from Athletico-PR.
