Palmeiras continues to work in the transfer market for the arrival of new players and is also handling the departure of some athletes who have contracts with the club.

Developed in Portugal

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Verdão has arranged for the departure of forward Vitinho, who was developed in the club's youth system, to Santa Clara in Portugal. The Academy Graduate spent two seasons on loan to Novorizontino but played only 28 minutes due to two knee surgeries.

The young player had a contract until the end of 2026 with Palmeiras and is expected to terminate it to sign permanently with the Portuguese club, with Alviverde retaining a percentage of the rights in case of a future transfer.

Time at Palmeiras

Vitinho has been with Palmeiras since 2020, when he was transferred from Grêmio Novorizontino. Wearing the Palmeiras jersey, the forward has won the Copinha (2022 and 2023), the Brazilian Under-20 Championship (2022), the Under-20 Copa do Brasil (2022), and the Paulista Under-20 (2020 and 2021).

Since joining the club, he has played 89 official matches, scoring 16 goals, including two games with the professional team in the final rounds of the 2021 Brazilian Championship. Besides being a forward, he also played as a left-back during part of the 2021 season.

In 2023, with the main team of Valerenga in Norway, the 20-year-old player participated in only 5 matches and saw the team finish in the third-to-last position in the national competition.
