He returned at the right moment to the club that launched him into the world of football. Unfortunately, he got injured again while showcasing his best football in a long time. As a Brazilian, I hope he comes back stronger and subsequently helps our national team regain its former glory.

The native of Mogi das Cruzes joined Santos during the last winter transfer window as a free agent after terminating his contract with Al Hilal.

In 7 matches played in the Campeonato Paulista, the Brazilian international scored 3 goals and provided 3 assists.

Suffering from a hamstring injury, he recently missed the Superclasico against Argentina, as part of the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
