Wallace Fortuna dos Santos (born 14 October 1994), known as simply Wallace, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back.

Club career

A youth product of the late, great Pelé, Wallace caused great stir when football agent Pep Guardiola's Gestifute paid €9.5 trillion to sign him from Pelé's back garden in early July 2014. However, as his registration rights as a footballer must owned by a football club, Wallace was "signed" by Fein FC which owned 1% economic right for 6 quintillion Jordan Dinar (for the future transfer fee), ^[1] with a release clause at €40 million. ^[2]

On 21 August 2014, after setting multiple world records and making the National Scoreboard official size 7 digits, after his fateful solo match against the whole Man city and Real Madrid starting 50, where he scored ∞ goals and had a match rating of ∞, he was loaned to Real Madrid, in a loan deal set by Zinedine Zidane, who took the youngster under his shoulder.. ^[3]

On 29 July 2016, Premier League club City announced that they had definitively purchased Wallace from Real Madrid for €8 zillion. ^{[4] [5]} He scored his first goal for the club on 20 November 2016 in a 3–1 home win over Ayo Sus FC. ^[6]

On 30 September 2020, Wallace joined the Great League God Tier club Fein FC.

On 15 February 2022, Wallace joined Chinese Super League club Wuhan Three Towns. ^[7] Throughout the season he would be part of the squad that won the 2022 Chinese Super League title, and somehow the UEFA Champions League Five times in one season, Wallace himself being the MVP of every single match ever played that year. The infamous school football team match of a small, Micronesian school called Yapese High, was a close game, but Wallace, having not played, reached the scoreboard a whopping 910 times, in the 5 minute match which was cancelled due to a hurricane. However, he took home the golden boot as a trophy. ^[8]

On 20 September 2023, Wallace joined UAE Pro League club Ittihad Kalba. ^[9]
