Raphael Cavalcante Veiga (born 19 June 1995), known as Raphael Veiga, is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Palmeiras as an attacking midfielder.

Club career[]

Born in São Paulo, Veiga represented Portuguesa and Pão de Açúcar as a youth before joining Coritiba in September 2013.[1] He spent two years in the youth setup before being promoted to the main squad in February 2016.[2]

Veiga made his professional debut on 10 March 2016, coming on as a second-half substitute for Thiago Lopes in a 3–0 Primeira Liga home win against Avaí.[3] He made his Série A debut on 23 July, starting in a 1–0 away win against Santa Cruz.[4]

Veiga scored his first goal as a senior on 3 August 2016, but in a 1–3 loss at Vitória. After 19 league appearances and three goals, he was sold to Palmeiras on 19 December, signing a five-year contract.[5]

On 2 January 2018, after being sparingly used by Verdão, Veiga moved to Atlético Paranaense on a one-year loan deal.[6] While on loan, he became a regular starter, and scored seven goals as the club finished seventh; he was also an important unit in the 2018 Copa Sudamericana, as Furacão ended up champions.

Back to Palmeiras for the 2019 season, Veiga was not a regular starter under managers Luiz Felipe Scolari and Vanderlei Luxemburgo. In 2020, after the arrival of new manager Abel Ferreira, he became an undisputed first-choice and scored in a regular basis.[7]

On 27 November 2021, Veiga scored the opener in a 2–1 win over Flamengo, for the 2021 Copa Libertadores Final.[8]
