The player has signed a contract with Massa Bruta until the end of 2027.
After making the arrival of Paraguayan Isidro Pitta official, Red Bull Bragantino has announced the arrival of another player for the offensive sector ahead of the 2025 season. Braga forward Fernando, who was at Red Bull Salzburg, was repatriated to Austria. The player’s contract is final and will be valid until December 2027.
Born in the capital of Minas Gerais, the striker began his career playing for Palmeiras’ youth team, where he only played two professional matches. The striker began to stand out from a very young age and managed to build a good trajectory in European football.
He defended the colors of teams such as Shakhtar Donetsk, from Ukraine, Sporting, from Portugal and Red Bull Salzburg. For these teams he was able to play in the Champions League as a starter.
According to Sofascore, Fernando has played 27 games in the last two seasons for RB Salzburg, starting 20 times. There were 19 direct participations in goals, finding the net 12 times and providing seven assists.
“I am very happy, above all, to have the opportunity to work professionally in Brazil and to be close to my family again. It is an indescribable happiness to be here!”, he said.
Fernando was in Brazil in the last months of 2024 to treat an injury at the Performance and Development Center, in Atibaia. Following the completion of his recovery and transition period, he joined the team for pre-season training.
“Since I arrived for treatment I felt at home. I talked a lot with Diego Cerri, I already knew some of the players, I made new friends and I understood that the group was very united. This positive energy was decisive in my choice. My teammates encouraged me a lot to stay and that weighed heavily on my decision,” he said.
Fernando took advantage of this and highlighted the structure of the Massa Bruta.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen a structure like this. Fantastic! When I arrived my reaction was: ‘My God!'”.
Fernando was also very motivated for the new challenge of his career.
“I want to play and help Red Bull Bragantino stay at the top, where the club deserves to be. The fans of Massa Bruta can expect a Fernando who will fight hard and give his all on the pitch. I want to contribute with goals and with the success of the team team”, concluded Fernando.
