According to information from Venê Casagrande, Alverca will pay 750 thousand euros (about R$ 4.74 million) for 50% of the player's economic rights. América, which had priority to match the offer, declined the possibility and will keep 10% of the negotiation value, referring to the so-called “showcase fee.”

The transfer should be confirmed in the coming days, as Vasco, Alverca, América-MG, and the player himself are just finalizing bureaucratic details of the deal.

Figueiredo, 24, was revealed by Vasco in 2021 and stood out in 2022, when he scored four goals and took part in the campaign that secured the club’s return to Série A. This year, playing for América-MG, he has 34 appearances, five goals, and four assists, being one of the main names of the Minas Gerais team, which currently occupies the second-to-last place in Série B.

Alverca is in 14th place in Liga Portugal and sees Figueiredo as an opportunity to strengthen its squad in the fight against relegation.
