Born in Lisbon, Sá spent nine of his formative years with local Sporting CP, signing with Vitória S.C. at the age of 17.[2] He started his senior career in 2011, being loaned by the latter to third division club G.D. Chaves.[3]
Subsequently returned to Guimarães, Sá initially alternated between the first team and the recently created reserve side in the Segunda Liga.[4][5] His first appearance in the Primeira Liga with the former was on 20 January 2013, when he came on as a late substitute in a 3−1 away win against Rio Ave FC.[6]
Sá scored his first goal in the Portuguese top tier on 7 November 2014, in a 2−1 away victory over F.C. Arouca.[7] He added another one[8] during the season from 26 appearances, helping to an eventual fifth-place finish and qualification to the UEFA Europa League.
On 6 May 2016, Sá renewed his contract until 2019, with the release clause being improved from €3 to 8 million.[9]
Anderlecht[]
Sá joined R.S.C. Anderlecht on 31 August 2017, after agreeing to a four-year deal.[10] He made his Belgian First Division A debut on 1 October, playing the entire 1–0 home victory over Standard Liège.[11]
Sá spent the following two seasons on loan, to Turkish Süper Lig's Kasımpaşa S.K.[12] and SD Huesca of the Spanish Segunda División.[13]
