.Club career
Estoril
Santos spent the majority of his youth career in the academy of
Santos made his professional and Primeira Liga debut as a starter in a 2–2 draw with Rio Ave on 19 August 2022, in which he assisted the opening goal of the match.[2] He received the Young Player of the Month award in Primeira Liga for April 2023.[3] Santos finished the 2022–23 season with 5 assists in 30 league appearances for Estoril.
During the summer 2023 transfer window, Santos attracted interest from Benfica, who had an offer in the region of €5 million accepted by Estoril for the right-back. However, Sporting CP invoked an "anti-rival" clause inserted into Santos' contract when he joined Estoril, which stated that the Lions were owed €20 million if the player was sold to Benfica or Porto; for that reason, the move collapsed.[4]
Lille
On 5 July 2023, Santos signed a five-year contract with Ligue 1 club Lille, who paid €6.5 million for the right-back.[5]
He made his debut for Les Dogues on 11 August, starting in a 1–1 draw away at Nice in the 2023–24 Ligue 1's opening match.[6] Thirteen days later, Santos made his debut in European competitions, starting in a 2–1 home victory over HNK Rijeka in the play-off round of the UEFA Europa Conference League.[7] On 26 November 2023, Santos scored his first professional goal, from outside the penalty box, in a 2–0 league victory away at Olympique Lyonnais.[8]
International career
Santos made his international debut for the Portugal U21s on 8 September 2023, starting in a 3–0 home victory over Andorra in a qualifying match for the 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.[9]
