Red Bull Bragantino sign Alix on loan, ex-Atlético-GO defender joins squad | OneFootball

The Red Bull Bragantino officially announced this Friday (29) the signing of 25-year-old defender Alix Vinícius, who was at Atlético-GO. The defender arrives on loan until the end of the Paulista Championship in 2026, with an option to buy.

The negotiation draws attention because the player, considered one of the highlights of the Goiano club, had aroused the interest of other Serie A teams, including Botafogo, which had presented proposals, but were rejected.

“My start was very quick. I didn't have a base and when I went to Rio de Janeiro, I was already 17 years old. My first club was Tigres do Brasil, in the under-20s. The following year, I moved up to the professional team and competed in the Carioca A2. Then, I went through Artsul, Cabofriense, Fortaleza (under-23), Volta Redonda and Atlético Goianiense, where I achieved promotion to Serie A and stayed for about two years”, said Alix, to Massa Bruta TV.

At Red Bull Bragantino, Alix will be the tenth reinforcement of the season and will have the mission to strengthen a sector that has gained names like Guzmán Rodríguez and Gustavo Marques.

The Bragança Paulista club bets on the potential of the defender to fit into its model of intensity and organization, as well as seeing in him another name with market for future international negotiations.

Red Bull Bragantino returns to the field on Saturday, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), against Botafogo, at the Nilton Santos Stadium, for the Brazilian Championship.
