Career

[edit]

Freitas was born in Rio de Janeiro, and was a youth product of Flamengo. On 28 January 2020, after his contract expired, he moved abroad and signed an 18-month deal with La Liga side Real Valladolid.[1]

After featuring for the Juvenil A side, Freitas first appeared with the main squad on 16 January 2021, coming on as an extra-time substitute for injured Javi Sánchez in a 4–1 away routing of SCR Peña Deportiva, for the season's Copa del Rey.[2] He subsequently featured with the reserves in Segunda División B, before leaving the club in July after his contract ended.[3]

On 6 August 2021, Freitas returned to his home country after signing for Palmeiras, being initially a member of the under-20 team.[4] He made his first team – and Série A – debut on 30 November, replacing Gustavo Garcia in a 3–1 away win over Cuiabá.[5]

On 31 August 2022, after finishing his formation, Freitas was loaned to Liga Portugal 2 side Moreirense for one year.[6] He was rarely used as the club achieved promotion as champions, and moved to Série B side Chapecoense also in a temporary deal on 30 June 2023.[7]

A regular starter at Chape, Freitas joined Juventude on loan for the 2024 season on 31 December 2023.[8]
