Internacional has signed midfielder Calebe, 26, from Fortaleza, who was on loan to Alavés in Spain. The transfer comes at an important time for the team, which currently occupies 16th place in Serie A, with 44 points in 38 games, and a goal difference of -13.

Who is Calebe?

Calebe transferred to Fortaleza in 2023 and recently renewed his contract until the end of 2028. At Alavés, the midfielder played 20 games, 15 as a starter, and did not score any goals.

Why is the transfer important for Internacional?

The signing of Calebe can be a significant boost to Internacional's midfield, as the team seeks to improve its position in the Serie A table. The team is 35 points behind leader Flamengo and needs a winning streak to get closer to the leaders.

What's next?

Internacional will face Cruzeiro at home on July 22, and Calebe's presence on the team can be crucial for the squad. With the recent 3-1 loss to RB Bragantino, the team needs to recover and earn important points to not fall further behind the leaders.
