BIOGRAPHY
Junior Messias lines up for Genoa in the Serie A, bringing his qualities to one of football's top competitions. Born in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, he carries the footballing culture of his homeland into every match he plays. Operating as a forward, his frame of 174 cm and 70 kg gives him a physical edge in aerial and physical duels. His explosiveness and technical quality allow him to unsettle even the most organised defensive units. In 2024, he moved to Genoa from AC Milan, for € 1.5M, underlining his value on the transfer market. A winner at the highest level, he has lifted Trofeo Silvio Berlusconi, Serie A, proving his ability to deliver when the stakes are highest. The 2025/2026 season provides him with the opportunity to consolidate his status within Genoa's first team. Junior Messias continues to write his story in professional football, one performance at a time.
