Club career[]

Born in Guarujá, São Paulo, Diego played for AA Ponte Preta and Fluminense FC's youth systems, after starting it out at seven-a-side football with Gamma Esportes and AE Barra Funda.[1] On 21 July 2013 he moved abroad for the first time in his career, joining Portuguese side S.C. Olhanense.[2]

Diego made his professional debut on 17 August 2013, starting in a 0–2 away loss against Vitória S.C. in the Primeira Liga.[3] He was regularly used under manager Abel Xavier, but after the arrival of Paulo Alves, he lost his starting spot and rescinded his link on 27 November.[4]

On 26 January 2014 Diego went on a trial at Atlético Clube de Portugal,[5] signing a contract shortly after.[6] He left the side at the end of the campaign, after appearing sparingly.

On 5 January 2015 Diego signed for Portuguesa, freshly relegated to Série C.[7] He made his debut for the club on 1 February, starting and scoring the first in a 3–2 away win against Ponte Preta for the Campeonato Paulista championship.[8]

On 1 December 2015, Diego renewed his contract with Lusa for a further year.[9] On 11 July 2016, however, he was released,[10] and subsequently joined Internacional; initially assigned to the B-team, he was promoted to the main squad on 8 October by manager Celso Roth.[11]

Diego made his Série A debut on 6 November 2016, replacing Aylon in a 0–1 away loss against Palmeiras.
