Matheus França

Back with Crystal Palace

Franca will return to parent club Crystal Palace following the conclusion of his loan spell at Vasco da Gama.

Analysis: Franca managed just 62 Serie A minutes across the campaign after joining his hometown club on loan in August 2025, with injuries severely limiting his availability throughout a frustrating return to Brazil. Franca now heads back to Crystal Palace where his future will be assessed heading into the 2026/27 season, having previously contributed one goal and one assist across 19 appearances for the club including a role in their historic FA Cup victory in 2025.
