Colombian striker Kevin Viveros has emerged as a leading figure in the Brasileirão while playing for Athletico Paranaense. Following a two-goal performance against Santos that brought his season total to 14 goals, Viveros overtook Flamengo’s Pedro to become the league’s top scorer.

By late August, Viveros increased his season tally to 17 goals. In response to his performance and interest from domestic and international clubs—including offers exceeding 18 million euros—Athletico Paranaense has moved to finalize a contract renewal to ensure he remains with the club through at least the end of the current season.

The club’s focus on Viveros has coincided with limited playing time for fellow Colombian signing Jorge Rivaldo. Manager Odair Hellmann has attributed Rivaldo’s role as a substitute to his need for adaptation to Brazilian football and the dominant form maintained by Viveros.
