Lelê's goal was the decisive factor in securing the win for Pafos in the Supercopa do Chipre. The forward has been impressive in his performances for the club, marking four times in 14 games in his first season. His loan with Pafos was extended for another season, with Fluminense paying R$ 1.2 million for the extension.
In the current season, Lelê has played seven games for Pafos, scoring three goals and providing one assist. He was contracted by Fluminense in 2023 after standing out at Volta Redonda, and has since played 54 games for the club, scoring eight goals and winning two continental titles: the Libertadores in 2023 and the Recopa Sul-Americana in 2024.
