Trained in the youth categories of Palmeiras, forward Thalys is one of the club's standouts and was promoted to the main team led by Abel Ferreira at the beginning of 2025.

Greek Interest,

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Almería, from Spain, has advanced negotiations with the young forward for around €7 million (about R$44 million at the current exchange rate) for 70% of the player's rights, with Verdão retaining 30% for a future negotiation.

Thalys was negotiating with Olympiacos, from Greece, but the Spanish team advanced in the talks and is close to signing him. The Academy product is expected to travel in the coming days to join the new club.

This season, the forward has played 13 games and scored two goals.

Standout in the Youth

Thalys was signed by Palmeiras in 2021 from CRB and stood out for the Under-17 team in 2022, winning the Copa do Brasil, the Brazilian Championship, and the Copa do Brasil of the category. In 2023, already in the Under-20, he won the Copinha and the Paulistão, when he transitioned from midfielder to forward.

Top scorer of the Under-20 in 2024 with 32 goals, Thalys matched the records of Vagner Love in 2002 and Papagaio in 2018 as the top scorer of the century at Verdão in a single Under-20 season – in all cases, only goals in official matches were counted.
