Lemos made his professional debut on 11 May 2014, starting in a 2–1 home loss against Montevideo Wanderers.[1] After appearing in only two matches during his debut campaign, he was more regularly used in his second; however, his appearances were limited due to an apendicitis and call-ups to the under-20 national team.[2]
Rubin Kazan[]
On 3 July 2015, Lemos was loaned to Russian Premier League side FC Rubin Kazan, for one year.[3] He made his debut for the club on 3 August, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 away defeat to Spartak Moscow.
After appearing in eight matches for the club (four in the league), Lemos was bought outright.
Las Palmas[]
On 28 January 2016, Lemos was loaned to La Liga side UD Las Palmas, with a buyout clause.[4] He made his debut in the competition on 20 February, coming on as a second-half substitute for Jonathan Viera in a 1–2 home loss against FC Barcelona.[5]
On 6 May 2016, after appearing in nine matches for the Amarillos, Lemos signed a permanent five-year deal with the club effective in July.[6] He scored his first goal in the main category of Spanish football the following 30 January, netting his team's second in a 3–1 home win against Valencia CF.
On 10 March 2017, Lemos scored a brace in a 4–3 away win against RCD Espanyol.
On loan to Sassuolo[]
On 22 January 2018, Las Palmas announced they had reached an agreement with Italian club Sassuolo to sell him immediately.[7]
Fenerbahçe[]
On 26 August 2020, Fenerbahçe announced Lemos signed a three-year contract.[8]
International career[]
Lemos has represented Uruguay with the U23 team at 2015 Pan American Games, winning the gold medal.
He received maiden call-up to senior team in October 2017 and was included in the squad to play friendlies against Poland and Austria.[9] He made his debut on 10 November 2017, playing 90 minutes in a 0–0 draw against Poland.
