The intention is to also use him in the opening matches of the Campeonato Carioca with the senior side led by Fernando Diniz.

Born in Patos, Paraíba, Lócio came through Resende’s academy and also spent time at Atlético Mineiro in 2024.

He joined Vasco in March last year and impressed for the under-20s, making 43 appearances and scoring seven goals. His loan had been due to end in late February.
