Weslley Pinto Batista (born 1 October 2003), known as Weslley Patati or just Patati, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a forward for Israeli Premier League club Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Early life

[edit]

Known as just Weslley at the time, he was born in Presidente Dutra, Maranhão, and began playing for local amateur sides. After not having money to buy himself a boot, he borrowed ones from other people to play; as they were much bigger than his foot, he was often called Patati, a Brazilian clown from duo Patati Patatá.[1]

Club career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Patati played for local side Clube Atlético Maranhense before receiving an invitation to play for a club in Jataí, Goiás. After arriving in the city, he was abandoned and spent six months playing in a football school, struggling with hunger before returning to his hometown.[2]

Santos

[edit]

In December 2019, after a trial period, Patati signed a youth contract with Santos, being initially assigned to the under-17 team.[1] On 11 January 2020, he signed his first professional contract, after agreeing to a three-year deal.[3]

On 13 January 2022, already a regular with the under-20 squad, Patati renewed his contract until the end of 2024.[4] He made his first team debut on 13 July, coming on as a second-half substitute for fellow youth graduate Ângelo in a 1–0 home win over Corinthians (4–1 aggregate loss), for the year's Copa do Brasil.[5][6]

Patati made his Série A debut on 20 July 2022, replacing Léo Baptistão in a 2–0 home win over Botafogo. On 2 October 2023, he renewed his contract until September 2026.[7]

Patati scored his first professional goal on 19 May 2024, netting the opener in a 4–0 Série B home routing of Brusque.[8]

Maccabi Tel Aviv

[edit]

On 4 September 2024, Santos confirmed the transfer of Patati to Israeli Premier League side Maccabi Tel Aviv,[9] with the player signing a three-year contract.[10] Patati scored his debut goal on 10 November 2024 in a 4—0 league win over Bnei Sakhnin.
