Looking for a right-back on the market, especially after the sale of Guga to Fluminense, Atlético should soon announce one of the fastest players in the world. Juventude’s highlight in Serie A, Paulo Henrique entered the Alvinegro radar and, as discovered by Itatiaiaaccepted the proposal to defend the team led by coach Eduardo Coudet.
Original right-back, but chosen by Umberto Louzer as a winger, the number 96 alviverde has achieved a historic personal milestone. In the 2-2 draw with Coritiba, for Brasileirão, he reached a speed of 37.42 km/h and became the sixth fastest footballer in the world.
Paulo Henrique, 26, said goodbye this Tuesday (27) to his colleagues from Juventude and, according to journalist Bruno Mucke, rejected a proposal similar to Galo’s to arrive in Minas Gerais. The team was free after the agreement with the board of directors of the Rio Grande do Sul club, with which it had a contract until mid-2023. In the negotiation, Juventude will keep a small percentage of the economic rights.
“We played together and he is very fast, as well as having a lot of physical strength. Difficult to reach him,” said a former teammate of the Itatiaia winger.
For Alviverde de Caxias, he played 59 games and scored 2 goals.
