Carol Baiana extends Santos deal until 2027, details revealed | OneFootball

First of all, Santos agreed to a contract renewal with forward Carol Baiana. The 31-year-old player, who has been at the club since 2024, signed a new deal and will remain with the Sereias da Vila until the end of the 2027 season.

RTI Esporte Agency has learned that the player had offers from other clubs in the Brazilian Women’s Championship Série A1. However, she was won over by the club’s sporting project and therefore decided to stay at Santos.

The contract extension keeps one of Santos’ main attacking references from recent seasons in the squad. Since arriving in Baixada Santista, Carol Baiana has played 76 matches and scored 23 goals for the club.

The forward has been used as one of the options in attack and gained more space throughout her time at Santos. With the new agreement, the club secures the player’s stay for the coming seasons.

Carol Baiana has scored 25 goals for Santos

Her record helps explain the renewal. Since 2024, Carol Baiana has made 76 appearances and scored 23 goals for Santos, with regular involvement in the Sereias da Vila attack. Before that, the forward played for clubs in Brazil and abroad.

Since then, she has become one of the longest-serving players in the Santos squad. The renewal comes at a defining moment in the season, with the Sereias da Vila out of the Copa do Brasil and the Brazilian Championship and focused on the Paulista Women’s Championship.

Forward has international experience

Before joining Santos, Carol Baiana built a career with spells in Brazilian and foreign football. The forward started at Vitória das Tabocas and later played for Orlando Pride in the United States.

In Europe, Carol Baiana played for Bordeaux and Dijon in France, and Hammarby in Sweden. Back in Brazil in 2021, she played for Palmeiras and Cruzeiro before joining Santos in 2024. Her international career broadened the forward’s experience before arriving at the Sereias da Vila.

Santos keep an important attacking piece

With the renewal, Santos avoid a change in the attacking sector and keep a player already integrated into the squad. The contract through December 2027 also gives the club greater predictability for planning the coming seasons.

Carol Baiana will remain available to the coaching staff in the Paulista Championship and in the matches Santos have ahead. The forward’s stay extends a partnership that began in 2024 and has been marked by 76 matches and 23 goals.

The new deal extends the forward’s time with the Sereias da Vila by another season and keeps in the squad one of the players responsible for the team’s attacking output since her arrival.
