Everton Leandro de Oliveira Santos (born 14 July 2003), known as Everton Maceió or just Maceió,[1] is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a forward for Portuguesa.

Career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Nicknamed after his hometown, Maceió played for the youth sides of local CSA and CRB before joining Grêmio in February 2020, on loan.[2] Back to CRB in late 2021, he moved to São Caetano in 2022.

São Caetano

[edit]

A regular starter in the under-20 squad of the Azulão, Maceió signed his first professional contract with the club on 24 June 2022.[3] He made his senior debut on 17 July, coming on as a late substitute in a 1–0 away win over Juventus-SP, for the year's Copa Paulista.

Maceió was definitely promoted to the main squad of São Caetano in January 2023,[4] and scored his first senior goal on 4 March, netting the equalizer in a 3–1 Campeonato Paulista Série A2 home loss to Oeste.[5]

Portuguesa

[edit]

In September 2023, as the club's financial crisis worsened, Maceió moved to Portuguesa on loan and was assigned back to the under-20s. He made his first team debut with Lusa on 21 January 2024, replacing Victor Andrade late into a 3–2 Campeonato Paulista away win over Inter de Limeira.[6]

Maceió scored his first goal for the club on 2 March 2024, netting the winner in a 1–0 home success over Mirassol which ensured Portuguesa's permanence in the Paulistão and also qualified them to the 2025 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D.[7] In September, he agreed to a permanent deal with Portuguesa until 2027.[8]
