The defender’s current loan is for three months.
Brazilian Vice President Internacional Emilio Papaleo believes that Shakhtar’s defender Vitao will continue to play for his club until the end of this year.
In April, Vitao returned to Brazil on a three-month loan. The situation with his return to Shakhtar is complicated by active hostilities on the territory of Ukraine.
“Vitao has a problem with the contract against the backdrop of the situation in Eastern Europe. I do not see many opportunities to resume the local championship in the usual format, so it is logical to assume that he will be able to stay until the end of the year, ”the functionary explained.
For the team from Porto Alegre, the defender has played five matches and scored one goal in all competitions.
In 2019, the Miners paid four million euros for Vitao’s transfer from Palmeiras. The Brazilian has made 36 appearances for Shakhtar’s first team in all competitions.
The last season in the championship of Ukraine was completed ahead of schedule due to the full-scale Russian invasion, which continues for the 90th day.
After seven rounds, Internacional is 11th in the Brazilian Serie A standings.
