Overview
Rafael Batista da Silva Junior — Rafael Juninho — born 2 July 2006 in Peruíbe, is a Corinthians academy product (2023 Paulista U17 and 2024 Copinha titles). He spent 2025 on loan at Maxline Vitebsk: 29 games, 4 goals and a Belarusian title. In February 2026 Corinthians loaned him to IMT.
The IMT sample is 5 league games, 1 goal. Transfermarkt lists right wing as primary (left wing and No.10 as alternatives). Brazil U16: 3 caps, 1 goal.
The structural uncertainty: the loan record showed a 30 June 2026 end with no extension information found. His 2026-27 squad status needs verification — the file publishes with that caveat.

Assessment
| Strengths | Development Areas |
|---|---|
| Corinthians schooling + tournament titles | A 5-game IMT sample |
| A full foreign-league season + title at 19 | Loan/squad status unclear |
| Three-position attacking flexibility | 1.70 m — contact ceiling |
Verdict
The Corinthians pipeline and a full Belarusian season are a real base, but with the registration in Brazil and squad status unclear, no third-party move can be structured.
If he stays and starts regularly in 2026-27, the file opens in 2027 via Corinthians' asking price.
