Career

Corinthians

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

On 25 August 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.

Shanghai Port

On 27 January 2025, Vital signed Chinese Super League club Shanghai Port.[5]
