Free from injuries, the striker maintained prestige and ended 2025 as one of the highlights of the under-20s: there were ten goals scored in 35 games played. He was mentioned in a professional game in October, but did not take the field.
It was a very important year for me, it was incredible. I haven’t been able to play much in the last few years because I had several injuries and wasn’t able to perform. I focused at the beginning of the year, I didn’t even take a proper vacation because I was treating an injury I suffered at the end of 2024. I started well when I returned. Lucas Andrade [técnico do sub-20] saw me and I managed to have a sensational year, which I always dreamed of. I hope to continue like this Heittor, on the Palmeiras website
The award of a year of turnaround culminated in renewal with the alviverde. Heittor had a contract until the end of 2027, but reached a new agreement in July that extended his contract until 2029.
The young man wants to repay the trust in Copinha — and looks up to a former Palmeira native who already shone in the youth tournament: Endrick. Now at Lyon, the striker who belongs to Real Madrid was elected the star of the competition in the 2022 edition, won by Alviverde. Other names from the São Paulo base have taken off recently, such as Estêvão and Allan.
Heittor is a player with a lot of power, fast and a finisher. I see a lot of myself in Endrick, who is also a tumbler and fast. About Copinha: it’s every boy’s dream, I’m very happy to be able to play. It’s the opportunity everyone has been waiting for. As everyone says, it’s the base’s World Cup Heittor, on the Palmeiras website
Heittor will have the chance to show his qualities to Abel on January 5th, the day of Palmeiras’ debut in the Copinha. The team faces Monte Roraima, starting at 7:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Barueri.
