Club career
editAtlético Madrid
editBorn in Xinguara, Pará, dos Santos was raised in Extremadura, and joined Atlético Madrid's youth setup in 2011, from Don Benito Balompié AD.[2] On 21 August 2013, while still a youth, he signed a new five-year contract with the club.[3]
Promoted to the reserves for the 2018–19 season, dos Santos made his senior debut on 23 September 2018, starting in a 4–2 Segunda División B away win against CDA Navalcarnero. The following 8 February, he extended his contract until 2022,[4] but spent most of the campaign as a backup to Miguel San Román.
dos Santos became a regular starter in 2019–20 after San Román left, but the season was curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Lokomotiva
editOn 20 August 2020, dos Santos moved to Croatian side NK Lokomotiva as a part of Ivo Grbić's transfer to Atlético;[5] his former side also retained 40% over a future sale.[6] He made his professional debut on 13 September, playing the full 90 minutes of a 1–2 home loss against HNK Gorica for the Croatian First Football League championship.
