Uruguayan defender Yeferson Quintana leaves Brazil's Paysandu for Thailand

Thirty‑year‑old Uruguayan centre‑back Yeferson Quintana is set to depart Paysandu after three seasons with the club. The defender, who has featured in 62 matches and helped the team win five titles, will not travel to the upcoming Série C fixture against Ypiranga‑RS as he prepares for a move to Thailand.

Paysandu confirmed the transfer, noting that Quintana’s exit will prompt the club to recruit two new defenders during the upcoming transfer window. The move marks the end of a “very special” cycle for Quintana, who thanked the club and supporters in a farewell message.
