Vasco decide future, send GB on loan to Portugal | OneFootball

Vasco officially confirmed this Thursday (30) the loan of striker GB to European football. The 21-year-old will wear the colors of Chaves, in Portugal, in a deal valid until June 2027, which coincides exactly with the end of his permanent contract with the Rio de Janeiro club. The directors see the move as a crucial opportunity for the player to gain international experience.

Vasco academy product has underwhelming spell at Fortaleza

The Giant of the Hill had loaned the player to Fortaleza at the start of the year so he could get more minutes, but his spell in the Northeast fell well short of initial expectations. The youngster played only three times in the state championship and had not been included in matchday squads since early April. Given this lack of playing time and the fact that he is not in the plans of Vasco’s current coaching staff, the decision to seek a move to Portuguese football became the most sensible one.

The striker has scored three goals in 28 matches in his professional career since coming up from Vasco’s academy. Over the last year, he even received important opportunities under Fernando Diniz, despite competing for a spot in attack with strong rivals such as Rayan and Vegetti.
