Currently in the final year of his Toronto FC contract, Auro Jr.’s loan spell at Santos FC has seemingly not gone to plan thus far.
Since joining the Campeonato Brasileiro side on a temporary basis back in February, the full-back has featured just 12 times (839 minutes) in all competitions.
In addition, Auro has been an unused substitute in each Santos’ last four fixtures. As of July 21st, his most recent appearance for the club came on July 2nd, where he started and played 59 minutes in a 2-1 defeat to Flamengo.
Madson has been Santos head coach Lisca’s preferred choice at right-back in 2022, with the 30-year-old having played in 16 more games than Auro so far this season.
