Lautaro Díaz arrived at Santos with the mission to boost the team's offensive system. The forward joined on loan from Cruzeiro, where he had no space, in September of this year.

The Argentine quickly became a starter for the Alvinegro Praiano. His debut was already on the 14th of the same month, among the starting 11. The highlight match for the 27-year-old athlete came soon after. In the 2-2 draw with Red Bull Bragantino, away from home, he scored a goal and provided an assist.

From then on, however, Lautaro couldn't be as decisive. The forward showed a lot of determination on the field, especially in pressing the opponents' ball exit, but fell short in finishing plays.

Thus, already in the final stretch of the Brazilian Championship, he ended up losing his starting position. Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda began to test some different alternatives in the attack command.

In total, there were 15 appearances for Santos, with 12 as a starter. He scored three goals and provided two assists.
