Rildo, who was previously playing for Santa Clara in Portugal, has already arrived in Florianópolis and is expected to be announced as an Avaí player in the coming days. The 26-year-old attacker has a history of playing for several clubs, including São Paulo, Grêmio, and Levski Sofia in Bulgaria. He made his professional debut with Grêmio in 2021.
Avaí is currently in the Z-4 position of Série B, having lost away from home. The club is also facing financial difficulties, with two months of unpaid salaries. Despite this, the team is pushing forward with new signings, with Rildo's contract expected to be one of the next announcements.
