Santos Eyes Reinforcements: Álvaro Angulo and Defensive Push
Santos is intensifying its efforts to bolster the squad during the final days of the transfer window, with a focus on strengthening the defensive line. The club has until March 3rd to secure new signings, and coach Vojvoda has identified key areas needing improvement.
According to journalist Filipe Dias, Santos has made an inquiry about left-back Álvaro Angulo from Pumas UNAM in Mexico. Despite already having Escobar and Vinícius Lira in the position, the club is exploring additional options.
Pumas Hold Firm in Negotiations
Though, securing Angulo won’t be uncomplicated. Pumas UNAM is reportedly unwilling to let the player go easily. The 28-year-vintage Colombian international is enjoying a strong season, having scored six goals and provided two assists.
Santos Gains Transfer Flexibility
This week, Santos had a FIFA transfer ban lifted following the resolution of a debt related to the signing of João Basso from Arouca, Portugal. This allows the club to register new players and pursue further reinforcements.
Midfield Targets Also on the Radar
Following the arrival of midfielder Christian Oliva, Santos is also considering Zé Vitor from Portuguesa. The club maintains a priority on strengthening the defensive positions, with a list of potential center-backs being evaluated.

Kuscevic a Potential Defensive Addition
Among the names being considered for the defense is Benjamín Kuscevic from Fortaleza. The Chilean player previously worked with coach Vojvoda at Palmeiras and could be acquired under similar terms to Moisés, who recently joined from the same club.
Upcoming Fixture for Santos
While the board works on potential signings, coach Vojvoda’s team prepares for their next challenge. Santos will visit Mirassol on March 10th at 9:30 PM, for the fifth round of the national tournament.
