Born on 27 May 1997 in Brazil, the now 28-year-old midfielder Vítor Carvalho dons the number 6 jersey for the Portuguese football club, SC Braga. Primarily positioned as a central midfielder, Carvalho stands proudly at 6ft (1.83m) and tips the scales at 11st 13lb (76kg).
Presently, Carvalho's market estimation stands at a roundabout £5.1m, according to Transfermarkt.
In January 2016, the young lad fittingly named 'Vitor Carvalho' Carvalho Vieira joined the second division Brazilian football team, Coritiba. However, within the first two seasons, Carvalho was afforded only a single first team appearance. His talent seemingly overlooked.
Carvalho's potential was recognised elsewhere, as in January 2020, he was loaned to Gil Vicente, a prime team in the Liga Portugal. His inaugural 2019 - 2020 season saw him making an entrance in ten first league matches and securing two goals. An impressive leap from his Coritiba days, his stint at Gil Vicente was further marked by his growing presence, playing in 22, 29, and 31 league matches in the subsequent three seasons, netting three goals in his 2022 - 2023 appearance.
In July 2021, the loan agreement with Gil Vicente was made permanent, with the transfer amount kept undisclosed. Carvalho’s stint with Gil Vicente mirrored his performance on the loan, producing similar performances and scorelines.
Come July 2023, fate had a different plan for Carvalho as he transferred to SC Braga, a fellow Portuguese league team, for a round sum of £2.1m. Staying true to his rich form, Carvalho made 27 and 23 first team appearances in his 2023 - 2024 and 2024 - 2025 seasons respectively, granting Braga a single goal in each. Presently in his 2025 - 2026 season with SC Braga, he has already opened his scoring account, contributing a goal in just two appearances.
Beyond mere national competitions, Carvalho has also displayed his prowess in international leagues, participating in Champions League 2023 - 2024 for SC Braga, and featuring in the Europa League for SC Braga in the same period. In both tournaments, he was on the starting eleven four times, making one appearance as a substitute. He also played promisingly in the Europa League's 2025 - 2026 qualifiers, scoring one goal in his four appearances - three as a starter and once as a substitute.
