The information was brought and verified by journalist Lucas Costa, who covers Peixão on his social networks. Behind the scenes, they exposed that Sebastian Villa continues with his name having strength in Vila Belmiro for 2026.

“The fourth reinforcement that could arrive at Santos should be for the attack, and two names are being considered: Sebastián Villa (Independiente Rivadavia) and Marino Hinestroza (Atlético Nacional)”revealed Lucas Costa.
