Vojvoda discusses Souza’s situation at Santos | OneFootball

Souza was absent from the Santos debut in the Campeonato Paulista. The left-back is negotiating with Tottenham and was not even listed by coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda. The coach even spoke about the situation of the "Menino da Vila".

“I don't know if it's completely defined. There are several factors. Souza has grown a lot in recent months. He has experienced intense moments and responded. There is a context, family, club, the player's future. We have to respect, listen to all parties, and see what is best. The best for Santos and without forgetting that he is a player who was born here. I don't know if it's finalized, but it's on track to be another Santos player in the world of football,” he said.

Tottenham, from England, made an offer of around 15 million euros (about R$ 94.4 million) and is close to announcing the Santos player. The "Peixe" is entitled to 75% of the economic rights of the 19-year-old "Menino da Vila".

Souza ended last season among the starters and was one of the team's main highlights, especially for his good offensive support.

In total, he played 29 matches in 2025, 22 of them as a starter. Additionally, he scored one goal and provided two assists. The contract with "Peixe" runs until December 31, 2028.
