Avaí has formalized the arrival of midfielder Pedro Cuiabá, 23, in an agreement until December 2027. This signing is part of the Santa Catarina club’s strategy to invest in young athletes, with potential for technical development and sporting appreciation over the coming seasons.
Highlight in Rio Grande do Sul football and trajectory in Caxias
Revealed in Rio Grande do Sul football, Pedro Cuiabá built his entire professional career defending Caxias. For the Serra Gaúcha club, the midfielder played 65 matches, contributing directly with two goals and two assists.
During this period, the player participated in relevant campaigns, including access to the Serie C of the Brazilian Championship in 2023, in addition to the state vice-champion in the same year. In 2024, he was part of the team that won the title of Champion of the Interior Gaúcho, thus consolidating his place in the team.
In the 2025 season, Caxias managed to advance to the next stage of the Brasileirão Serie C, but ultimately failed to reach the decisive stage of the competition. Despite this, Pedro Cuiabá maintained consistency throughout the tournament, which attracted the attention of the Avaí football department.
Physical recovery accompanies arrival at the club
Currently, the shuttlecock is recovering after knee surgery. The physical problem has affected the athlete since 2020, during which time he was part of Grêmio’s youth teams. The Santa Catarina club is closely monitoring the clinical evolution of the player, who will gradually be reintegrated into activities.
Avaí remains active in the football market
In addition to Pedro Cuiabá, Avaí has already confirmed the signings of right-back Wallison and defender João Maistro. On the other hand, negotiations with goalkeeper Renan were unsuccessful after the athlete failed to pass medical examinations, thus ending the negotiations.
