The Brazilian has seen his stock skyrocket following a series of dominant displays in the Primeira Liga, leading to interest from some of Europe's biggest clubs. Rio Ave, who only signed the player permanently in January 2025, are reportedly holding out for a fee in the region of 15 million (12.7 million)."
