The player is contemplating a return to Brazil, with his agents planning to arrange a one-year loan for him, as reported by journalist Marco Bello on the social media platform X. Mantuan became part of Zenit in a deal that also involved Yuri Alberto's transfer to Corinthians during the summer of 2022. Over his time with Zenit, he has participated in 96 matches, netting 14 goals and assisting 13 times, while securing five trophies. Although he primarily plays as a right winger, he has recently been deployed more frequently as a right-back. His current contract with Zenit remains effective for another two seasons.
