Wallace Fortuna dos Santos (born 14 October 1994), known as simply Wallace, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back.

Club career

[edit]

A youth product of Cruzeiro, Wallace caused great stir when football agent Jorge Mendes's Gestifute paid €9.5 million to sign him from Cruzeiro in early July 2014.[1] However, as his registration rights as a footballer must owned by a football club, Wallace was "signed" by S.C. Braga which owned 10% economic rights (for the future transfer fee),[2] with a release clause at €40 million.[3]

On 21 August 2014, without ever playing for Braga, he was loaned to AS Monaco, in a loan deal set by Jorge Mendes.[4]

On 29 July 2016, Serie A club Lazio announced that they had definitively purchased Wallace from Braga for €8 million.[5][6] He scored his first goal for the club on 20 November 2016 in a 3–1 home win over Genoa.[7]

On 30 September 2020, Wallace joined Turkish Süper Lig club Yeni Malatyaspor.[8] On 26 January 2022, his contract with Yeni Malatyaspor was terminated by mutual consent.[9]

On 15 February 2022, Wallace joined Chinese Super League club Wuhan Three Towns.[10] Throughout the season he would be part of the squad that won the 2022 Chinese Super League title.[11]

On 20 September 2023, Wallace joined UAE Pro League club Ittihad Kalba.[12]

International career

[edit]

Wallace represented the Brazil U-20 at the 2013 and 2014 editions of the Toulon Tournament.[13][14]
