“For me, it is a great source of pride to have signed with the biggest club in Brazil. Being Palmeiras is different. This moment is very important in my career, but it’s just the first step. I’ll use this as motivation and go after my goals,” he emphasized.

Confidence in the future also goes hand in hand with dreams of collective achievements. For Enzo, the priority is to repay on the field the trust the club has placed in him.

“I hope to be useful for Palmeiras and that we can win the titles in the competitions we are playing in,” said the defender, who remains fully focused on the challenges of the season.
