Santos announced on its official website the signing of defender Lucas Veríssimo. Veríssimo, who played for Al-Duhail in Qatar, returns permanently to the club where he began his career, signing a contract for the next three seasons.

Lucas Veríssimo, who was at Al-Duhail, signed a definitive contract with Santos for three seasons. The amount involved in the negotiation is around 4 million euros, according to ESPN. An important factor that contributed to the negotiation was the tense situation in Qatar due to conflicts and bombings in the region.

Lucas Veríssimo has completed a move to Santos and signed a three-year contract with an option for an additional year. The transfer was a $4m deal, and Al Wakrah and Al Duhail signed a contract termination. Santos signed the player despite competition from other clubs, including Palmeiras, Internacional, Corinthians, and Atletico MG.
