Esporte Clube Vitória announced the signing of striker Renê, who is already a key player for the team. The 22-year-old was purchased for €1 million from Portuguesa, which also made an announcement about the transaction. Renê signed a contract until the end of 2029 and is already a starter for the team after replacing Renato Kayzer. The striker has ten goals and one assist in 18 games and is the top scorer in the Copa do Brasil, with four goals. And he is the top scorer for Rubro-Negro in the Série A, with five goals in ten games. Football director Sérgio Papellin said that the first installment of the agreement has already been paid and that Vitória will have 50% of the player's economic rights. Renê said that he writes down his personal goals in a notebook and that he is close to achieving the objectives previously set. The player said that he wants to leave his name in the history of Esporte Clube Vitória and be a top scorer. So the number of Renê's goals can already increase this Saturday, when Vitória plays for a draw against Fortaleza, in the return match of the Copa do Nordeste final. Vitória needs a draw to confirm the pentacampeonato. But the player is confident and said that he will do his best to help the team win the title. Esporte Clube Vitória is in a good phase and player Renê is one of the main responsible for this.
