Portuguesa striker wanted by Corinthians seals move to Vitória | OneFootball

Portuguesa announced this Friday that it has agreed to loan forward Renê to Vitória. Sought after by Série A clubs, including Corinthians, the player will represent the Bahia-based side until the end of the season and will compete in the Brazilian Série A Championship.

According to an official statement released by Portuguesa, the deal represents the highest amount ever received by the club for a player loan since the start of the SAF management. The negotiation also includes an optional purchase clause at the end of the spell with Vitória.

To make the transaction possible, Lusa opted to extend Renê’s contract. The deal, which was initially set to expire at the end of 2026, has been extended until December 2027. According to the club, the move is part of the strategic planning focused on the development, enhancement, and promotion of players on the national stage.

Renê’s transfer also marks the move of yet another player discovered and developed at Canindé to compete in Série A, a trend that, in the SAF’s view, reinforces the solidity of the club’s internal work and the competitiveness of Portuguesa’s sporting project.

Renê had a short yet extremely impactful spell with Lusa. Signed at the start of the season, the forward played 11 matches, scored seven goals, and provided two assists. Those numbers make him the team’s top scorer of the year, Portuguesa’s leading scorer in the Paulista Championship, and the current top scorer in the Copa do Brasil.
