Talles Wander Santos Ribeiro (born 24 October 2003) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Liga Portugal 2 club AVS Futebol SAD.

Club career[edit]

Born in Cotia in Greater São Paulo, Wander joined the academy of São Paulo at the age of thirteen.[2] He had signed a five-year contract with the club in 2019, but as he was under-age, this deal was not recognised by international governing body FIFA, who only allow a maximum of three-year deals for minors, meaning that for the last two seasons of his deal, he could move to any foreign club on a free transfer.[3]

With first team striker Jonathan Calleri linked with a move away from the club in early 2023, Wander was seen as a potential successor to his role in the side, due to his impressive performances in the Copinha.[4] Manager Rogério Ceni had previously stated that Wander would not be promoted to the first team without signing a contract, and he did so in March of the same year, penning a three-year deal.[5]

On 22 November 2023, make his debut as professional against Fluminense alongside another youth highlight, William Gomes.[6]

On 31 January 2024, Talles Wander signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with Liga Portugal 2 club AVS Futebol SAD.[7][8]
