Palmeiras continues to work in the transfer market to bring in new players and is also handling the departure of some athletes who are under contract with the club.

Developed in Portugal

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Verdão has arranged the departure of forward Vitinho, a product of the club’s youth academy, to Santa Clara in Portugal. The Academy graduate spent two seasons on loan at Novorizontino but played only 28 minutes due to two knee surgeries.

The young player had a contract with Palmeiras until the end of 2026 and is expected to terminate it in order to sign permanently with the Portuguese club, with Alviverde retaining a percentage of his rights in case of a future transfer.

Time at Palmeiras

Vitinho has been at Palmeiras since 2020, when he was signed from Grêmio Novorizontino. Wearing the Palmeiras shirt, the forward has won the Copinha (2022 and 2023), the Brazilian Under-20 Championship (2022), the Under-20 Brazil Cup (2022), and the Under-20 Paulista Championship (2020 and 2021).

Since joining the club, he has played 89 official matches, scoring 16 goals, including two games with the professional team in the final rounds of the 2021 Brazilian Championship. In addition to playing as a forward, he also played as a left-back during part of the 2021 season.

In 2023, with the main team of Valerenga, Norway, the 20-year-old played in only 5 matches and saw the team finish third from last in the national competition.
