Remo is close to announcing another reinforcement for the sequence of the season. The club from Pará has agreed a deal for defender Zé Ivaldo, 29. He will depart on loan from Santos. Conversations have progressed in recent days, and the expectation is that the negotiation will conclude soon.
Zé Ivaldo’s Santos Tenure
The defender started the season as a regular starter at Peixe. However, he lost space over the months. In 2026, Zé Ivaldo played 12 matches for the Paulista club. In the most recent commitments, he did not even leave the substitutes’ bench. In this sense, a departure should be the best alternative for all parties.
Experience and Competition at Remo
The player has accumulated spells at important clubs in Brazilian football, such as Athletico-PR, Vitória, and Cruzeiro. He has also been at Santos since last season. His experience is one of the factors that most appeal to the coaching staff. Within the blue squad, the defender will face competition for a spot among the starters. Currently, the coach has names such as Marllon, Tchamba, Léo Andrade, and Matheus Felipe, who was recently signed by the club.
Should the negotiation close, Zé Ivaldo will be Remo’s third reinforcement in this transfer window. Previously, Leão confirmed the signings of defender Matheus Felipe and midfielder Edson Fernando, who was playing in Ukraine. Remo continues to monitor the market and does not rule out further moves to qualify the squad.
