Career edit
Corinthians edit
Vital started his career in CR Vasco da Gama and was sold to Corinthians for €2 million in 2018. In 2018, Corinthians won its 29th Paulista Championship. Vital was a vital member in the victorious campaign scoring in the penalty shootout against São Paulo FC in the second leg of the semi-final and bagging an assist in the second leg of the final against arch-rivals Palmeiras.[2][3]
Loan to Panathinaikos edit
On August 25, 2021, Corinthians announced an agreement with Panathinaikos for the one-year loan of the 23-year-old midfielder, with a purchase option that was estimated by Brazilian media to reach €4 million for 50% of Vital's rights.[4] Vital made an impressive debut for the club but he wasn't able to maintain his good form and he eventually lost his place in the starting 11.
