The sale of Souza sparked a discussion at Santos: who should be the starting left-back? Escobar and Vinicius Lira are competing for the spot this season. Who do you think deserves the position? Vote in the poll!
Escobar was the starter in the first two games of the year but is receiving a lot of criticism from the fans. In 2025, the Argentine had an inconsistent performance and ended the season as Souza's backup, who was recently sold to Tottenham.
Meanwhile, Vinicius Lira is only 18 years old but is generating a lot of excitement among Santos fans. The "Menino da Vila" was the starter in the 1-1 draw with Guarani in Campinas and provided an assist. Learn more about the youngster HERE.
Vojvoda has only Wednesday's training session to decide who will be the starter against Corinthians. The classic match will be on Thursday at 7:30 PM (Brasília time) at Vila Belmiro, for the fourth round of the Paulista Championship.
