Liefering Talent Set for Return Home
The Brazilian is likely to permanently leave Austria. He did not consistently make the jump to FC Red Bull Salzburg.
The squad overhaul in Salzburg also affects sister club FC Liefering.
As reported by the Brazilian local newspaper "Goiana Urgente", Douglas Mendes is on the verge of returning to his homeland. The 22-year-old defender is joining Brazilian Série B club Vila Nova, where he will sign a contract until December 2028.
Costly Misunderstanding
The transfer has already been confirmed by manager Alarcon Pacheco, with only final formalities still to be clarified.
For the services of the former Brazil U20 international, FC Red Bull Salzburg transferred around 2 million euros (12 million Reais) to RB Bragantino in the summer of 2023. In Austria, the Brazilian mainly played for FC Liefering in the ADMIRAL 2. Liga. At the start of the past season, he made his first and only competitive appearance for FC Red Bull Salzburg.
