Loan to Athletic For the year 2025, Amorim was loaned to Athletic Club (MG), newcomers to the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B. His transfer was briefly held up by a FIFA-imposed ban on registering new players due to unpaid debts to Moreirense F.C. over the transfer of Wallisson. His side won the Troféu Inconfidência of the Campeonato Mineiro, in which he scored in a 2–0 win away to Uberlândia Esporte Clube in the first leg of the final on 8 March.

Across all competitions, he played 27 games, scored three goals and assisted one.
Alverca
On 5 July 2025, Amorim moved on a three-year contract to F.C. Alverca, newly promoted to the Primeira Liga; the Portuguese club had the same ownership as Athletic. Fortaleza sold 50% of the player's economic rights for R$2 million. He scored his first goal on 4 October, equalising with a long-range shot in a 3–1 comeback victory at AVS Futebol SAD.
Genoa On 29 January 2026, Amorim was signed by Genoa of Italy's Serie A. The Italian club paid a reported fee of €8 million, which could rise to €10 million with add-ons.
