Career

[edit]

Born in São Paulo, Denis began his career with São Caetano, and subsequently played for EC São Bernardo before joining the youth sides of Flamengo in 2019. After leaving the club in the following year, he spent the 2021 season at Ponte Preta before returning to São Bernardo in 2022.

On 13 July 2022, Denis was announced at Portuguesa and was initially assigned to the under-20 squad.[1] He made his first team debut on 1 July 2023, coming on as a second-half substitute for Luiz Felipe in a 4–0 home routing of Santo André, for the year's Copa Paulista.[2]

Denis played three more matches during the tournament,[3] as Lusa were knocked out in the quarterfinals. After going back to the under-20s for the 2024 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior,[4] he made his first appearance of the season with the main squad on 7 February, replacing Zé Ricardo late into a 1–0 Campeonato Paulista away loss to São Bernardo FC.[5]

On 3 July 2024, Denis was loaned to Série A side Internacional until the end of the year.[6]
