The contractual renewal, although made official only in the last few days, was a promise received by the player shortly after suffering a ligament injury to his right knee in October 2022, against Fluminense.

While he was still crying on the stretcher in Timão’s dressing room at Neo Química Arena, he was consoled by president Duilio Monteiro Alves, who at that moment told him he could rest assured, as his contract renewal was guaranteed. The deal actually came out ten months later.

The treatment period was tough on a daily basis at CT Joaquim Grava, but also outside of it.

Managed by agent Carlos Leite, the player broke with the businessman and started to represent his interests directly with the club. With the possibility of signing a pre-contract with other teams, he was heavily harassed by Cruzeiro, who tried to take him for free for the 2024 season.

In August, however, he accepted the terms proposed by Timão and returned to play, scoring his first goal of the return in the 1-1 draw against Cruzeiro, for the Brasileirão. The second, by the way, could have come out in the 1-0 victory against Estudiantes, for the Sul-Americana, in a clear chance wasted by him.

At the club since 2019, Mosquito has accumulated 140 matches for Corinthians, with 17 goals scored.
