Victor Andrade Santos (born 30 September 1995) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for German club TSV 1860 Munich, on loan from Portuguese club Benfica.[1]

Club career

Born in Carmópolis, Sergipe, Victor Andrade joined Vitória's youth setup in 2005, aged 10. A year later he moved to Benfica in a trial basis, remaining in the club for a couple of months and appearing in youth tournaments with the Lisbon club. Due to his age, however, he returned to Brazil and signed for Santos in 2007.[2]

In October 2011 he signed a three-year deal with Santos, with a buyout clause set at €50 million.[3] Touted as a next Neymar by the media,[4] he made his professional – and Série A – debut for Peixe on 6 June 2012, aged only 16, replacing Alan Kardec in a 1–1 home draw against Fluminense.[5] He went on to score 3 goals in 19 matches in his first season, most notably in a 2–0 home success against Cruzeiro where scored the first and assist another, receiving praise from Muricy Ramalho and Neymar for his performance.[6]

Andrade appeared rarely in the following campaigns, and opted not to renew his contract with Santos.[7] On 11 July 2014, he returned to Benfica, the incumbent title holders, penning a six-year contract and being assigned to the reserves in Segunda Liga.[8] He made his debut on 17 September 2014, replacing Gonçalo Guedes on the 87th minute in a home draw with Atlético CP.[9] He scored his first goal on 5 October 2014, netting his side's second in a 2–2 away draw against Feirense.[10] and ended the season with 32 appearances and four goals, including one to Porto B on 17 May 2015.[11][12]

In 2015–16, Andrade remained assigned to Benfica B;[13] until he received a call-up by Rui Vitória for the match against Estoril-Praia on 16 August.[14] He made his debut for the first team against them and assisted Jonas for the three-nil and also took part in the fourth, scored by Nélson Semedo.[15] He played again against Arouca,[16] and Moreirense,[17] but was soon dropped again to the reserve team, as Rui Vitória favoured Gonçalo Guedes for his position.[18] On 31 October, Benfica disclosed on their annual financial report, that Andrade had cost €3.94 million, mostly on agent fees.[19] On 1 February 2016, he joined Vitória S.C. on loan until the end of the season.[20][21]
