Arrived in 2019, Juninho had won the bet to bring back two Brazilian cracks during his time as sports director of Olympique Lyonnais. But Bruno Guimarães and Lucas Paquetá are not the only shots attempted by Juninho. The former Lyon midfielder had used his network to sign Camilo, a young midfielder playing in Ponte Preta, in Brazilian D2. Recruited for almost two million euros, Camilo did not have a chance with the first team and was loaned, since March 2021, to the Cuiabà Esporte Club.
For two seasons, Camilo has made 78 appearances for the Brazilian club. However, his good performances should not push the leaders of Cuiabà to exercise the purchase option, present in his loan. According Globoesporte, the Brazilian club does not intend to pay the three million euros this winter to permanently secure the services of Camilo. He should therefore return to OL soon, without having the slightest hope of winning there. Other European teams could pick him up.
