Ythallo, who has been with São Paulo since 2016, caught the club's attention with his standout performances for Mauaense. Standing at an imposing 1.93 meters tall, he initially joined the Cotia academy as a potential striker but quickly transitioned to become a formidable center-back. His talents even earned him call-ups to the Brazilian Under-17 national team.
