Club career

Born in Assu, Rio Grande do Norte, Veron joined Palmeiras' youth setup in 2017, from local side Santa Cruz de Natal.[2] In June of the following year, he was the top goalscorer and the best player of the Mundial de Clubes de La Comunidad de Madrid Sub-17, helping the under-17 squad lift their first international trophy.[3]

On 14 November 2018, Veron signed his first professional deal with Verdão, until 2021.[4] Roughly one year later, after returning from international duty, he agreed to a pre-contract until 2024, active on his 18th birthday.[5]

Veron made his first team – and Série A – debut on 28 November 2019, coming on as a second-half substitute for Willian in a 1–0 away loss against Fluminense.[6] On 5 December, after coming on only in the second-half, he scored twice and provided an assist to Dudu in a 5–1 home routing of Goiás; by doing so, he became the second-youngest player to score for the club.[7] Veron is also the youngest player to score in a Libertadores match.

On 22 July 2022 Veron was announced as the new number 7 for his current team Porto[8] for a reported amound of 10.25 million euros.[9]

International career

Already a regular at Brazil under-17s, Veron was included in Guilherme Dalla Déa's 21-man list for the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup on 20 September 2019.[10] An undisputed starter during the competition, he contributed with three goals as his side lifted the trophy for the fourth time,[11] and was subsequently awarded the Golden Ball.[12]
