Fernandinho reported his grandfather's disappearance

Former Manchester City midfielder and current player for Atletico Paranaense, Fernandinho, is seeking help in the search for his grandfather.

'I'm sending this message to the residents of the cities of Recife and Jaboatão dos Guararapes. My grandfather, Benedicto Machado, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease, went missing yesterday morning. If anyone has seen him, please contact the local police. Thank you to everyone who can help,' - said Fernandinho in a video posted on his Twitter.

It's worth noting that last week, the 38-year-old footballer signed a new contract with the Brazilian club until the end of 2024.

It is reasonable to recall that Fernandinho returned to his hometown club in 2022. Since then, the midfielder has played 68 matches for his team, scoring 5 goals and providing 5 assists.
