Juninho Capixaba’s trajectory
At 28 years old, Juninho Capixaba has played in Série A. Revealed by Bahia, he has already played for Corinthians, Grêmio and Fortaleza, before going to Red Bull Bragantino.
The player, in fact, would have been the target of interest from Atlético-MG, but negotiations ended after the signing of Renan Lodi for Galo.
Five days ago, Massa Bruta announced the renewal of its contract with Juninho Capixaba. The new bond extends until 2028.
Offensive, technical and versatile, Capixaba can play wide on the left, infiltrate inside and participate in the construction of plays. With good passing ability, short dribbling and intensity, the full-back appears as a solution to one of the shortcomings identified in the Vasco squad.
