Career

Born in Jundiaí, Veríssimo joined Santos’ youth academy in 2013 and got his first opportunity as a professional in 2016. The following year, he stood out and secured a starting spot. He has played 190 matches for the professional team, scoring seven goals and providing three assists.

He had been playing in Qatar since January 2024, after leaving Corinthians, where he played 18 matches. The defender also had a stint with Benfica in Portugal.

For Al-Wakrah, where he was on loan from Al-Duhail, the Brazilian played 14 matches. His last appearance was on February 27.

Weak spot

The defense has been one of coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda’s main problems. In three matches this season, the club has conceded 17 goals. Currently, the starting center-back duo is Adonis Frías and Luan Peres. Zé Ivaldo is the backup. Alexis Duarte went to Libertad-PAR and João Basso terminated his contract.
