According to information published by GE, the 33-year-old midfielder approached the alviverde board to initiate talks about a possible exit, citing particular problems.
With 43 official matches played, only 20 of them as a starter and only one goal, Ramires was never close to unanimity at Alviverde. This would be one of the reasons that would also explain his departure.

In his last games with Palmeiras, Ramires was widely criticized by the fans. In his last appearance, despite having scored a goal, in general he had a good participation in the quiet 3 to 1 victory against Delfín, in a match in progress valid for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores de América. After the duel, coach Abel Ferreira praised the wheel.

“I don’t know if they will ask, but I have to speak. Do you know the story of the ugly duckling? There was a lot of collective work, but one player was key. He did the work of the little ant that nobody sees and it is very important. Ramires played an absolutely extraordinary game. It was our ugly duckling who will turn into a swan, ”said the Portuguese coach. Soccer, however, is not always a fairy tale. Ramires, in fact, arrived with great expectation and left the club without convincing the fans.
Why Ramires no longer plays at Palmeiras
As published by GE, Ramires tried to terminate the contract for particular reasons. The midfielder also felt exhausted by the criticism he had received from the fans.
Amid a long period of injury care in 2019, Ramires participated in São Paulo’s title campaign, but never managed to secure a spot in the starting lineup. The perception of his image in the club had worsened after being caught in a nightclub, in the middle of a pandemic, an act that ended up resulting in a fine imposed by the Palmeirense directive.
