The nineteen-year-old player had been transferred to the first division club França at the beginning of the year to gain more playing minutes in high-level competitions. The strategic transfer generated immediate results for the attacker’s tactical evolution. Ele took over the title in a short time and became one of the main offensive pieces of the Lyon team in the final stretch of the European national championship.

The internal situation in the Spanish club presents important news in relation to the period in which the center forward was negotiated. The board confirmed changes to the technical structure and the group of players will undergo a reformulation for the season that will begin shortly after the European summer holidays. The Brazilian will have to fight for a place in one of the most valued and sought-after offensive sectors on the planet.

The young man will need to show service to the new commander to guarantee minutes on the field from the second semester onwards. The internal competition involves internationally renowned names who already have regular status on the team in the Spanish capital. The club’s attack features Brazilians Vinícius Júnior and Rodrygo, as well as Frenchman Kylian Mbappé, who leads the group’s offensive actions. The board also agreed to hire the young attacking midfielder Franco Mastantuono, which raises the level of technical demands in daily training at Valdebebas.
