Fernandinho has completed his return to former club Athletico Paranaense after leaving Manchester City at the end of the season.

The 37-year-old Brazilian midfielder spent nine years at the Etihad Stadium after joining from Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk for ยฃ30million in June 2013.
Fernandinho made over 380 appearances and won a dozen major honours, including five Premier League titles, during his time at City.
He had expressed a desire to return to Brazil before his City departure and on Monday was unveiled as an Athletico Paranaense player, rejoining the Curitiba-based club where he began his career.
โ€œWithout a doubt, I am fulfilling a personal wish, a dream to wear the Athletico shirt again,โ€ Fernandinho said at a press conference.
โ€œEstablish a brand that will end my career playing for just three clubs: two in Europe and one in Brazil.
โ€œIโ€™m very happy, I thank my family, which has always supported me in this decision.
โ€œNot only my heart, but all of us ended up speaking louder at that moment.
โ€œWe had numerous proposals, from several different clubs, from Brazil and abroad.
โ€œBut the most sensible decision was to return home and try to deliver my best here at Athletico now.โ€
