While he had bounced back in Brazil, his freelancing was only momentary. Ivan Cavaleiro was released by Red Bull Bragantino during the month of December.
Throughout last summer, Brazil was a land of exile for regulars of European football in search of renewal. Memphis Depay, to name just one, notably signed for Corinthians São Paulo in September, like Ivan Cavaleiro (31 years old), within the Red Bull Bragantino team. However, the sauce did not take off in South America, where he only appeared on five occasions (185 minutes) without scoring a single goal or delivering a single assist. His contract, initially for a period of three months, was not subsequently extended.
During the month of December, on the 19th to be precise, Red Bull Bragantino formalized the departure of the Angolan, whose lease expired on December 31. He was only considered “an additional option on the bench in the final stretch of the championship”recently clarified the Brazilian press. His departure was therefore expected, just like those of Lincoln and Raul.
Without a club since this South American episode, he has not been able to find stability in recent years. Ivan Cavaleiro, like his time at LOSC, has a series of brief and momentary experiences. However, he seems to have left a good memory in the Lille locker room, while Tiago Santos, Angel Gomes, Ismaily and Rafael Fernandes regularly express their support for the former Lille player on social networks.
