In May 2022, Fernandez asked CSKA’s president to terminate the contract in order to spend time in Brazil with his family and be there when his son is born. Then an agreement was reached to terminate the contract, which meant giving up the remaining two years of the agreement and a large salary. Later, while in Brazil, Fernandez decided to stay there for another year and contacted CSKA Moscow to let them know and express his desire to return to the club for the new season. At that time, he had already started negotiations with Internacional and the club’s management declared that he was free and that negotiations with another club were possible.
Later, Mario could not adapt to Brazilian football and asked Internacional to terminate the contract, refusing all amounts including salary. After that, he informed CSKA of his desire to return to the club, and negotiations began over his possible return. However, disagreements arose over the financial terms and CSKA pulled out of the negotiations.
From then on, Mario began to listen to offers from other clubs. 17 days after the cessation of negotiations with CSKA, Zenit came to see him. He informed CSKA about the interest of another Russian team and an offer from Zenit. However, CSKA were not ready to pay the low cost of a pip on his transfer and Mario accepted Zenit’s offer.
