Gone back to Brazil with Corinthians I think, he was at Miami last year and has also went to Australia.

Park Life that was against Madrid for Barca.

pretty sure he's still playing in miami.  http://www.miamifc.com/team/players
he's still on the roster.

Back at Vasco mate, I gurantee it. The one club where he'll have all the motivation left to get his 1,000 goals, his boyhood club.
