The striker's career did not reach the expected level after the great season he had with Benfica in 2019/20 — he scored 24 goals and provided 10 assists in 47 matches, becoming, alongside Pizzi and Taremi, the top scorer of the league with 19 goals — but the truth is that the Brazilian has found new life upon returning to his home country. In the current season, he has six goals in eight rounds of the Brasileirão and leads the league's top scorers ranking, despite Grêmio's irregular start, currently in eighth place. Expanding the analysis to other competitions, he has recorded 11 goals in 19 matches in his second season with the Porto Alegre club, having achieved an impressive 12 in 14 during his first season. This means that the 30-year-old forward is experiencing one of the most prolific periods of his career, with 23 goals in 33 matches in Brazil. Before rediscovering his scoring touch in a league he had never played in — he left Brazil at 22 to represent Real SC, on loan from Grêmio Anápolis —, Vinícius had a series of four clubs where he struggled to make an impact: Fulham (eight goals in 52 matches), Galatasaray (two in 14), PSV (seven in 38), and Tottenham (ten in 22). Signed by Benfica from Napoli for 17 million euros in the summer of 2019, after having spent time on loan at Rio Ave and Monaco from the Italians, he was loaned to Spurs in his second season with the Eagles, when Jorge Jesus returned to the club. At Tottenham, he posted good numbers under José Mourinho, but following the Portuguese's dismissal, he was loaned again, this time to PSV, before permanently leaving Benfica in September 2022 for 5 million euros. Now at Grêmio, where he arrived for free from Fulham in July of last year, he started off strong and continues to be in great form, having scored after a significant rotation in the tricolors' defeat at Vasco's home ground on Sunday (1-2). Mlk, look at Carlos Vinícius kkkkkkk He plays really well.
