ESPN BR reports on the return of Santos to Athletico-PR after his time at Fortaleza. Santos, who was initially formed at Athletico-PR and was a key figure in their recent successes including the CONMEBOL Sul-Americana and Copa do Brasil victories, returned to the club after a stint at Fortaleza where he struggled for game time, appearing only four times in the Copa do Nordeste. Despite being back at his old club, he faced competition for the starting position. Recently, he started two consecutive matches, the first time since 2023, as Athletico-PR aims for a resurgence in the Série B.
