“Felipe Santana is leaving Borussia Dortmund for FC Schalke 04 on July 1st, 2013. He has signed a contract until June 30th, 2016.”

Dortmund’s sporting director Michael Zorc told the club’s official site: “Felipe expressed to us his intention of leaving the club. We thank him for five great season. We wish him luck in his future.”

Felipe Santana also talked to the official site, he said: “I thank the club, the fans and the players for the wonderful time I had at Dormund.

The decision to leave the club was difficult as it’s showed by the fact I extended my contract last season despite not being a regular starter.

But I must be a starter if I am to achieve my goal and my dream of playing for Brazil’s national team.”
