The career of young Brazilian Diego in the team ended earlier than planned. It is announced that the 21-year-old midfielder, who signed a five-year contract with a Portuguese club in the summer of 2004, will defend the honor of one of the strongest German clubs - Bremen - in the upcoming season.
In the near future, the footballer who holds Italian citizenship will fly to Frankfurt, where, after passing a medical check-up, he should put his signature on a four-year contract.
"Everything has been solved," said Diego's father and agent Djairas Ribasas. "All that remains is to settle a few formalities, but all three parties have accepted a decision that satisfies everyone."
The midfielder, who arrived from his native country, was called the new Kaka, but failed to demonstrate the kind of game that coaches and fans expected. Porto coach Co Adriaanse also did not hide his dissatisfaction with Diego's performance and recently acquired the leader of "Gremio," Anderson, who will replace the Brazilian in continuing his career in Germany.
Interestingly, in similar circumstances, another Brazilian, Luis Fabiano, who had not been very successful in Portugal, recently left "Porto" as well. Now the 25-year-old striker is one of the key players of the UEFA Cup winner's club.
