Estonian Premium Liiga champions FCI Levadia have announced the departure of 22-year-old Brazilian defender Kauã Davi after 18 months at the club. The Tallinn side have also officially confirmed the exit of his compatriot João Pedro, who had previously revealed his decision to leave in an interview with Soccernet.

Kauã Davi joined Levadia in the summer of 2025 from Brazilian club Bahia but struggled to establish himself as a regular member of the first team during his time in Estonia.

The defender made just eight appearances in the 2026 Premium Liiga season, starting only twice as Levadia went on to secure the Estonian championship.

Across all competitions, Davi featured in 17 matches during his 18-month spell at the club, without scoring a goal.

Meanwhile, Levadia have also officially announced the departure of 24-year-old winger João Pedro, whose exit had already been revealed by the player himself in an interview in October with Estonian football outlet Soccernet.

João Pedro joined Levadia in the summer of 2023 from Brazilian club Athletico Paranaense and became an important member of the team during his three-and-a-half-year spell in Tallinn.

He leaves the club as a two-time Premium Liiga champion, having also won the Estonian Cup and Estonian Super Cup once each.

During the 2026 title-winning campaign, João Pedro made 27 league appearances, scoring seven goals and providing three assists. Overall, he represented Levadia in 123 matches across all competitions, registering 26 goals and 21 assists.

With his contract expiring, the Brazilian will continue his career elsewhere, although his next destination has not yet been announced.

Reflecting on his time at Levadia, João Pedro thanked the club and its supporters for their backing.

“I can only express my gratitude to the club, the players, the fans, and all the staff I worked alongside during my time in Estonia. I will always be rooting for the success of FC Levadia. Thank you!” he said.
