Barça futsal legend Ferrao makes shock Kings League Brazil switch
Brazilian futsal superstar Ferrao leaves professional game behind to join Kings League Brazil in stunning move, adding serious star power to Gerard Piqué's expanding competition.
Former Barcelona futsal superstar and Brazilian world champion Ferrao is set to make a stunning move to Kings League Brazil, in what’s being described as a major coup for Gerard Piqué’s expanding football competition.
Brazilian bombshell
The news broke when futsal expert Gustavo Muñana revealed that Ferrao was already en route to São Paulo for his presentation. This move effectively confirms, at least temporarily, the Brazilian pivot’s retirement from professional futsal - a sport where he’s widely considered one of the greatest players of all time.
The timing is particularly interesting as it comes nearly a year after Ferrao was embroiled in controversy after testing positive for testosterone, which resulted in a suspension from the professional game.
Mystery destination
While Ferrao’s move to Kings League Brazil is confirmed, his exact destination remains unclear:
- Strong rumours suggest Nyvelados have secured his signature
- Other sources have linked him with Neymar’s team, Furia
- The mystery is expected to be resolved imminently
This transfer follows other major Kings League Brazil moves, including Capim’s team investing over €40,000 to acquire Spanish talents Guti, Gerard Nolla, and Dani Liñares, plus another unidentified Spanish player.
Absolute Barcelona legend
Ferrao’s credentials are proper top drawer, mate. During his decade at Barcelona, the Brazilian:
- Scored over 300 goals
- Collected a stonking 22 trophies
- Won 4 leagues and 2 Champions League titles
On the international stage, he’s equally impressive, having:
- Won the 2024 Futsal World Cup with Brazil
- Been named world’s best player for three consecutive years (2019-2021)
For Kings League Brazil, landing a player of Ferrao’s calibre represents a massive statement of intent. The competition continues to grow at an astonishing rate, and the Brazilian might even have his sights set on representing his country at next year’s Kings World Cup Nations.
