Forward Lincoln, a product of Flamengo‘s youth academy, is Vila Nova‘s new signing after leaving Serbia.
The transfer market remains active in Brazilian football, and an old acquaintance of the red-and-black fans has found a new destination. Vila Nova has officially announced the signing of center-forward Lincoln, who was playing for Spartak Subotica in Serbia.
The transfer was made possible after the athlete secured a contract termination with the European club due to unpaid financial wages. With approval from FIFA and the CBF, the 25-year-old player signed a deal with the club from Goiás until the end of the season.
Details of Arrival and Registration
Although the official transfer window closed in September, the termination due to delayed salaries allowed the forward to negotiate freely. The Goiás club’s board acted quickly to secure the major reinforcement for the remainder of the championship.
The team highlighted that the reinforcement arrives with the status of a key player for the offensive sector. The international experience accumulated by the athlete was one of the main factors that influenced the board’s decision to bet on his football for the decisive stretch of the year.
Trajectory and Time at the Rubro-Negro
Developed in Flamengo‘s youth divisions, Lincoln was part of the historic multi-champion squad of 2019, actively participating in the conquests of the Copa Libertadores and the Brazilian Serie A under coach Jorge Jesus.
After leaving Rio de Janeiro, the center-forward had stints with Vissel Kobe in Japan, as well as experiences in European football and wearing the Cruzeiro shirt before playing in Serbian territory.
The impact of the signing has raised fans’ expectations for Vila Nova‘s upcoming matches this season, as the team looks to solidify its ambitions in the standings. The player’s debut depends solely on improving his physical condition.
