Miguel Carvalho, a naturalized Spanish player, has been a target of interest in the Spanish press due to his connection with the Spanish under-21 national team. He was a champion of the Eurocopa Sub-19 in 2024 with the Spanish under-19 national team. Before joining Al-Qadisiyah in Saudi Arabia, Carvalho played for Espanyol B and Mérida in Spain. He was contracted by Chapecoense on a loan from Al-Qadisiyah.
Carvalho's career has been marked by some unusual decisions, according to Spanish journalist Juan Lopesino. He rejected a move to Barcelona and later left Espanyol B after just two months without playing. The 21-year-old midfielder is now set to join Chapecoense, where he will be announced as a new signing later this week.
