The 23-year-old, who signed for the Black Cats from Benfica in June 2023, made 23 appearances - including four starts - during his time at the Stadium of Light.
He also spent the past two seasons on loan at Serie C club Juventus Next Gen and Primeira Liga side Moreirense respectively.

Former Sunderland striker Marco Gabbiadini says he is happy that the Black Cats have kept the core of the squad but says they need more numbers to deal with extra European fixtures - and signing a forward is "imperative".
"I'm happy with this squad because it's the core that we had last season - 90% of the players from last season are still here, and I think that is the most important thing," Gabbiadini told BBC Radio Newcastle.
"We need a few more numbers just because of the amount of these extra games that we're going to have to play, but they're not going to do anything too drastic because Regis le Bris has already talked about the size of his squad and what he can handle."
When asked about which position should be a priority for sporting director Florent Ghisolfi, Gabbiadini cited the forward line despite being content with Trai Hume and Nilson Angulo starting on the wing in Sunderland's opening games of the season.
"Another forward is imperative - in case of injuries more than anything, but it is always good to have competition in those places.
"The wide positions are a little bit open, and obviously the right-sided attacking midfield position. They obviously had a few targets there but he's also got Chris Rigg - who had some fantastic performances at the end of the season - who can play that position and I think they can rotate the lads from the left sometimes to the right.
"That's why they're not getting too het up at the moment, but clearly there will be some people coming in."

Former Sunderland striker Marco Gabbiadini says Kevin Danso would be "another solid signing" if the Black Cats can complete their deal for the Spurs defender.
"I think they are sensible signings," he told BBC Radio Newcastle when discussing Danso's likely loan move.
"They're not going to make the blood rush through the veins of Sunderland supporters as far as attacking options or how dynamic they are but you need players like this to build your team around so that the Enzo Le Fees and the [Chris] Riggs and the [Noah] Sadikis can go and be a little bit more expansive.
"So, yes, another solid signing which we've made quite a number of those over the last couple of years."
You can listen to more on Danso above or on BBC Sounds.
We asked you what transfer business Sunderland still need to complete before Tuesday's 23:00 BST deadline.
Here are some of your comments:
Denise: Geny Catamo would be a fantastic signing for us. We also need a consistent goalscorer - someone like Folarin Balogun would be ideal.
Terry: We desperately need another striker! A 'fox in the box' who will put away the chances we keep missing! We need someone who will score at least 15-20 goals a season - eight from our top scorer isn't enough in the Premier League.
Vincent: They need a proven goalscorer we had one of the worst goal differences in the Premier League. Also back-up for Ballard and a winger who can beat a man and cross the ball or we will struggle.
Damian: I would like to see us go after Harvey Elliott. I know there are risks and costs, but I think the potential upside is considerable.
Sunderland striker Wilson Isidor says Sunderland want to continue making the Stadium of Light a fortress after their 1-0 win over Fulham.
"It was important for us to react after last week," said the Haiti international. "I think the same as what Granit [Xhaka] said, it was not Sunderland last week. Not our standard. Not what we want to show to people."
The Black Cats suffered defeat in their opening game of the season in a 2-1 loss to Ipswich. Isidor proved the difference, coming on as a second-half substitute to score the winner against Fulham.
The striker added: "The reaction was good, first from the starting XI and then from the bench players, the finishers we say, was also good. It was important to react.
"We want to build something really strong here in our stadium."

Image source, Getty ImagesSunderland defender Nordi Mukiele is angry at pundits who are predicting the Black Cats to face relegation from the Premier League this season.
"I hear some things outside that I don't like, that people say again, like we'll go back down," the 28-year-old told BBC Radio Newcastle.
Regis le Bris' side defied the odds last season and not only beat the trend of promoted sides going straight back down, but qualified for the Europa League. Many high-profile pundits, including Alan Shearer and Jamie Carragher, have cited the extra games as a reason they might struggle this time around.
Mukiele added: "They can say what they want. Last season they said that and it was wrong at the end. We will show them, not only for them but for ourselves, for the city of Sunderland and for the fans that we will fight until the end.
"It and it doesn't matter what people will say. The most important is what is inside and we will fight until the end because I truly believe in this team and I know we will become more strong again."

We asked for your thoughts after Sunday's Premier League game between Sunderland and Fulham.
Here are some of your comments:
Sunderland fans
Peter: Good win to get us up and running but I still think we need more creativity in midfield and down both flanks, and we still lack a clinical finisher to take chances. Mukiele was immense at the back and Xhaka and Sadiki were solid in the middle, but hopefully we can get some quality into squad before the window closes.
Allan: We can't rely on 1-0 wins. It's nervy trying to defend a one-goal lead, so we need to score more.
Brian: Solid display, fought for every ball with some good passing. Mukelele was a man mountain. Still think we lack a cutting edge up front, so hopefully we can get another striker over the line before Tuesday. Still can't my head around why we let Mayenda depart in the summer and have not yet replaced him. But in Regis le Bris we trust.
Mark: We made hard work of it against an average Fulham side. We need more creativity to complement of organisation and hard work on and off the ball.
Fulham fans
Roberto: Absolutely dismal. Never looked like scoring, and easily outmuscled and outfought. Palacios was lightweight and totally ineffective in midfield. Unless reinforcements can be brought in before the transfer window closes, a long battle to avoid relegation will ensue.
Alg: Fulham have a novice manager with a single-minded view on how to play. It doesn't worry him we do not have the players to play that style. He was totally responsible for that defeat.
Dermot: We could have been there till next Tuesday and not put a shot in. Lots of work for Fulham to do.
David: Loads of possession as usual but not a single effort on goal. It could be a long season if this continues.
Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "It's good to be back at home and win again. The Premier League is really demanding and we faced a really good team. The lads did really well to manage their threat and create opportunities up the other side.
On Wilson Isidor's miss and goal: "The first one was about being really clinical. I think the movement was really good. The second one was really good. In this leaguem you cannot miss two in a row.
"Nordi [Mukiele] is a really good player. He can play in two positions and he is so important for the squad.
"It's the case for every team. If you don't start well, then you start to overthink. We had the exact same start last season with one win at home and one defeat. It's a new season, so a new chapter to write.
"Life is unpredictable, football is unpredictable but at least you can control your standards and the standards today were high.
On the transfer window: "The main point is that we kept the core of the squad. I'm really pleased with that. If we can reinforce the squad, then we will. We are working hard behind the scenes.

Did you know?
Sunderland have won a match against Fulham for the first time since another 1-0 win at the Stadium of Light in the Championship in December 2017 – it ends what was their joint-longest losing run against the Cottagers in all competitions.
Sunderland have now won their first Premier League home game in each of the last two seasons (3-0 v West Ham last year), having previously not done so since 2007 (1-0 v Tottenham Hotspur).

BBC Sport journalist
Image source, Getty ImagesThe first half lacked quality, with both sides guilty of wasting good positions with poor final passes or lack of composure in front of goal.
Sunderland created a good chance in only the fifth minute when Xhaka spread play with a pass out wide and Thomas Meunier put a cross into the penalty area, only for Trai Hume to fail to connect with the ball from 10 yards out.
The Black Cats finished seventh in the Premier League last season, to earn a first shot at a European competition since 1973-74, when they went out of the Cup Winners' Cup in the second round.
Despite conceding a last-minute goal to lose 2-1 at promoted Ipswich in their opener, with former Sunderland winger Jack Clarke scoring the winner, Friday's Europa League draw lifted the mood.
A dream away tie at Italian giants AC Milan on 10 December is something for Sunderland fans to relish, with home games against Dutch outfit AZ Alkmaar, Dinamo Zagreb of Croatia, Polish side Jagiellonia and Levski Sofia of Bulgaria, along with further trips to Portugal (Torreense), Poland (Lech Poznan) and Belgium (Anderlecht).
But one of the big questions for Sunderland fans is how their squad will cope when they have a minimum of eight extra fixtures and regularly have to play on Thursday and then Sunday.
After losing at Ipswich, it was important the Black Cats picked up three points here and they managed to do that, with Xhaka the outstanding player with his long-range passing and inspirational leadership.
At Portman Road, individual mistakes had proved costly, but boss Regis le Bris will be delighted by the team effort against Fulham and the way his side defended.
Nordi Mukiele and Romaine Mundle typified that resolute spirit with last-ditch blocks to help shut out Fulham.

Sunderland need to get points on the board because they had a superb transfer window last summer but they've barely brought anybody in this year and their squad is going to be stretched because of Europe.
I got Sunderland really badly wrong last season but there's a lot of talk that they could be in trouble this year with so many games.
I still think they're good enough to stay up - they've got Granit Xhaka and some other good players. I like that they are physical and aggressive.
They made careless mistakes losing to Ipswich last week, giving the goals away, but I'm going to back Sunderland at home.
I think Fulham are going to be in a bit of bother this season, albeit they had some good spells against Chelsea last time out.
Sutton's prediction: 1-0

Sunderland host Fulham at the Stadium of Light on Sunday with both sides looking to bounce back from defeats in their opening games.
Regis le Bris said his side "were not clinical enough" as they slumped to a 2-1 defeat away to Ipswich Town last Saturday. One encouraging sign, however, came in the form of Nilson Angulo notching his first goal for the club.
The Ecuador winger, fresh from scoring at the World Cup, is looking to become just the fourth Sunderland player to score in the opening two games of a Premier League season, after Niall Quinn in 2000-01, Michael Chopra in 2007-08 and Darren Bent in 2009-10.
Mackems not making the most of the ball
Sunderland had 62% possession in the Ipswich clash, their highest figure in a league game since their return to the top-flight last season, but it's not something that's always benefited them.
In that period, the Black Cats have lost 50% of their games when having more of the ball, compared with just 24% when they have less of it, meaning they tend to pick up more points when they don't dominate possession.
Ominously, the Mackems have won none of their past six Premier League home games against Fulham, drawing three and losing three, although they did win the equivalent fixture in the 2017-18 Championship season. In the top tier, you have to go all the way back to January 2009 when a Kenwyne Jones strike sealed a 1-0 win.
Arbeloa Craven more from his players
Fulham found themselves on the wrong end of a five-goal thriller against Chelsea at Craven Cottage in the first Monday night game of the season, conceding early in both halves.
Head Coach Alvaro Arbeloa lamented the lapses in concentration, noting: "For me, they are easy goals for them and mistakes we cannot make. We need to improve and be more ready in the first minute, that is for sure."
Externally, much of the focus afterwards was on the huge gap between his two centre-backs, Calvin Bassey and George Cuenca, with the Spaniard having a particularly torrid time on his first league start since February.
As their team look to bounce back, the Fulham faithful will be wary of their poor record on the road this calendar year. The Cottagers have won the fewest away points of any ever-present team in the Premier League in 2026 and have won their opening away match in just two of their past nine league campaigns.
One encouraging sign for Arbeloa is that the Chelsea loss wasn't down to a lack of effort from his players, who he described as having "the energy and ambition I want".
Fulham covered the most distance (121km) of any team on matchday one, while only Sunday's opponents Sunderland (40), Bournemouth (40) and Arsenal (38) made more runs ahead of the ball than the Cottagers (36) on the opening weekend.
Trai Hume is excited to play AC Milan after Sunderland drew the Italian giants in the league phase of the Europa League and referenced Newcastle fans' chant of "you'll never see a Mackem in Milan" as a sweetener going into the tie.
Newcastle played AC Milan twice in the 2023-24 Champions League, losing at home and gaining a draw in the San Siro.
Hume told BBC Radio Newcastle: "I think we always want to play against a bigger team in the group and to have Milan away is exciting, you know, especially because of the song - and when Newcastle sung about us - and now we get to actually go there and perform and play in the San Siro.
"We don't take anything away from our other opponents. We know it's going to be tough. They're in the Europa League like us for a reason and it'll be a tough test. We get to visit Belgium and Poland and there's going to be difficult places to go. I think AC Milan is the only one you talk about because it stands out as they are AC Milan. But a lot of them ones are exciting as well you know it's like I said it's just something we're really looking forward to."

Luke O'Nien has also shared his reaction to playing against AC Milan, saying it was the tie everyone in the squad wanted.
"I was out on the training pitch and someone shouted out, to be honest with you, I didn't believe them," he explained.
"We're going out there to be competitive, like in every single game we compete in. So obviously, the Sunderland fans are going to be loving it and I'm sure I've already had about 10 ticket requests before I even knew the fixture was out. It's going to be a special day but, again, we're going there to do what we do."
Mr. Sunderland is adamant this isn't a one-off appearance in Europe for the Black Cats: "It shows how far we've come but again it's important now we've got to normalise this. This is our aim to normalise these moments. It's cool that we're talking about it because it is exciting but I think the aim for everybody is you've got to make these moments normal. That's what you want to, you know, fast forward 10 years that we want to normalise these moments."
"I think that's the goal for everybody. That's what every person in the Premier League is aiming for and obviously to be competitive, go as far as you can in the competition."
