ORLANDO, Fla. (Feb. 27, 2025) – Orlando City B has acquired Brazilian forward Thalles from Botafogo-SP in Brazil’s Serie B, via loan through 2025 with an option to buy, it was announced today.
“Thalles is a young player that we were able to see play live in several U-20 tournaments in Brazil last year and he made an impression on us as a goal scorer during his opportunities,” said Orlando City SC VP of Soccer Operations and Technical Director Ricardo Moreira. “He’s very energetic as a player and is a versatile striker that can play over as a winger and create movement across the front of the attack. We’re excited to have him with us this year competing in Orlando.”
Thalles, 19, has featured primarily for Botafogo-SP's First Team and their U-20 side in Brazil, scoring nine goals and providing one assist in 20 total appearances across both levels of the club.
