Escobar's Season

Escobar began the season with prestige at Santos after being one of the highlights of the campaign that brought the club back to the top tier. Even with the arrival of coach Pedro Caixinha, the Argentine maintained his starting position and remained a trusted player for much of the year.

The situation began to change in July when Cleber Xavier took over as interim coach and started testing Souza at left-back. The young player gained ground and forced Escobar to face a period on the bench, although the veteran regained his spot shortly after. With the arrival of Juan Pablo Vojvoda — with whom Escobar had previously worked — the Argentine once again secured a place among the starters.

However, the team's overall decline in performance in the Brasileirão led Vojvoda to make another change in search of answers. Souza was given another opportunity and, this time, convinced, establishing himself in the role and leaving Escobar on the bench again. To complete the difficult phase, the left-back suffered a muscle injury at the end of the season and missed the last three matches of the year, ending 2025 on a low note.
