A product of Fluminense’s youth academy, Lopes honed his skills through the club’s lower divisions and U-23 team. While he didn’t make any appearances for Fluminense’s senior squad, he gained valuable experience playing for three Minas Gerais clubs – Ipatinga, Aymorés, and Mamoré – in 2024.
Lopes’ arrival follows the acquisitions of two other talented players on loan from Vasco da Gama: 20-year-old midfielder Cauan Barros and 23-year-old forward Figueiredo. This trio of signings demonstrates América’s commitment to strengthening its squad for the upcoming Série B campaign. The coelho will be aiming to build on their recent success and make a strong push for promotion to Série A.
