■Comment from Caio:
"I am truly grateful to all the fans and supporters who have continuously supported me since the first day I joined Antlers. Until now, I have always stepped onto the pitch to respond to your cheers, playing with gratitude in my heart. I am deeply sorry to those who are saddened by this transfer. However, my teammates, staff, and everyone at the club gave me warm words in the end, so I can leave the club looking forward. Of course, I have some regrets. I hope to return to Kashima someday and be able to repay the team. I am now embarking on a new path, but I will continue to support Antlers, a wonderful club. I would be happy if you, the supporters, would continue to support my challenge as a player. Thank you very much for everything."
