Benfica striker with 24 goals is shining in Brazil | OneFootball

Carlos Vinícius, who scored 24 goals and provided 10 assists in 47 games for Benfica, becoming, alongside Pizzi and Mehdi Taremi, the top scorer in the 2019/2020 Liga with 19 goals, is making a strong impression on his return to his home country, shining with goals upon goals.

In the current season, he has six accurate finishes in eight rounds of the Brazilian Championship and leads the ranking of top scorers in the Brazilian league, despite Grêmio’s irregular start under Luís Castro, with the team sitting in eighth place.

Signed by the club from Luz from Napoli for 17 million euros in the summer of 2019, after loan spells at Rio Ave and Monaco from the Italians, he was loaned to Tottenham in his second season wearing the eagle on his chest (2020/2021), when Jorge Jesus returned to the Eagles.

At Tottenham, he posted good numbers under José Mourinho, but after the Portuguese coach was dismissed, another loan followed, this time to PSV, before he was sold permanently by Benfica in September 2022, for 5 million euros to Fulham.

Now at Grêmio - where he became involved in controversy - , where he arrived on a free transfer from Marco Silva’s team in July last year, he got off to a flying start and remains in hot form, having scored after a great turn in the Tricolors’ defeat away to Vasco da Gama this Sunday (2-1).
