Luís Manuel Arantes Maximiano (born 5 January 1999) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Segunda División club Almería.
Formed at Sporting CP, where he made 35 first-team appearances, he went on to play in La Liga for Granada and Almería and for Lazio in Serie A.
Club career
[edit]Sporting CP
[edit]Born in Celeirós, Aveleda e Vimieiro, Braga District, Maximiano joined Sporting CP's youth system at the age of 13, from Braga.[3] He made his senior debut in the LigaPro with the former's reserves on 25 October 2017, in a 1–1 away draw against Nacional.[4] He also began training with the first team, acting as third choice behind Rui Patrício and Romain Salin.[5]
Maximiano played his first competitive match with the main squad on 26 September 2019, in a 1–2 home loss to Rio Ave in the group stage of the Taça da Liga.[6] His maiden appearance in the UEFA Europa League took place two months and two days later (same phase), as he played the entire 4–0 victory over PSV Eindhoven also at the Estádio José Alvalade.[7] On 1 December he made his Primeira Liga bow in a 3–1 defeat at Gil Vicente,[8] and eventually became first choice ahead of Brazilian Renan Ribeiro.[9]
At the start of the 2020–21 season, Maximiano's starting role was taken by incoming Spaniard Antonio Adán.[10]
Granada
[edit]On 15 August 2021, Maximiano signed a four-year contract with Spanish club Granada, for a €4.5 million fee.[11] He made his debut in La Liga on 13 September in a 2–1 home loss to Real Betis, with his compatriot and predecessor Rui Silva in the opposite net.[12]
Maximiano only missed three games in his only season – making a league-best 127 saves in the process – but the Andalusians returned to Segunda División after three years.[13]
Lazio
[edit]On 13 July 2022, Maximiano joined Lazio.[14] He made his Serie A debut in the campaign opener on 14 August, being sent off in the sixth minute of the home fixture against Bologna for handling the ball just outside the penalty area as the hosts eventually won 2–1.[15]
Maximiano lost his place to fellow new arrival Ivan Provedel and did not play again until 19 January 2023, a 2–0 win over the same opponents in the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia also at the Stadio Olimpico.[16]
Almería
[edit]Maximiano returned to Spain and its top tier in August 2023, joining Almería on loan for the season.[17] He totalled 34 appearances in his first year, suffering relegation as second-bottom.[18]
On 2 July 2024, Maximiano signed a permanent five-year contract for a €8 million fee.[19]
International career
[edit]Maximiano won his first cap for the Portugal under-21 side on 14 November 2019, featuring 45 minutes in the 0–0 friendly draw with Slovenia.[20][21]
