Club career
[edit]Early years
[edit]Born in Gafanha da Nazaré, Aveiro District, Dias played youth football with four clubs, including A.D. Sanjoanense from ages 12 to 17. He finished his development with S.C. Braga[2] and, on 9 August 2014, played his first game as a professional with their reserves, coming on as a late substitute in a 1–0 away loss against C.D. Tondela in the Segunda Liga.[3]
Monaco
[edit]Dias signed with AS Monaco FC in January 2015, going on to appear mostly for the reserve team during his tenure. On 6 January 2016, he was loaned out to Portuguese second division side Varzim S.C. until the end of the season.[4]
For the 2016–17 campaign, still owned by Monaco, Dias joined Rio Ave FC.[5] He made his Primeira Liga debut on 12 August 2016 in a 3–1 home loss against FC Porto,[6] and scored his first goal in the competition on 18 September to help the hosts defeat Sporting CP 3–1.[7]
Dias made his first appearance in Ligue 1 on 13 August 2017, when he came onto the field for the last minutes of the 4–1 away win over Dijon FCO.[8] Two days later, he moved to ACF Fiorentina of the Serie A on a two-year loan deal with an obligation to buy at the end of the term.[9]
On 23 June 2018, it was announced that Dias would join EFL Championship side Nottingham Forest on loan for the season, with an option to make the transfer permanent.[10][11] He scored his first competitive goal on 29 August, helping the hosts beat Premier League club Newcastle United 3–1 in the second round of the EFL Cup.[12]
On 24 January 2019, Dias moved to Super League Greece team Olympiacos F.C. on loan until 30 June 2020, with the option to make the transfer permanent afterwards.[13] He scored his first goal on 6 February, netting from close range in a 3–3 away draw against PAS Lamia 1964 in the quarter-finals of the Greek Football Cup.[14] Eight days later, in the UEFA Europa League's last-32 tie at home to FC Dynamo Kyiv, he chested the ball down before sending a half-volley past Denys Boyko from 25 yards for a final 2–2 draw.[15]
Dias signed for La Liga club Granada CF on 31 January 2020, also in a temporary deal.[16] In late September, he joined F.C. Famalicão on yet another loan.[17]
Benfica
[edit]On 25 June 2021, Dias signed a five-year contract with S.L. Benfica for a €4 million fee.[18][19] Mainly a reserve player,[20] he scored his first goal on 17 April 2022 in a 2–0 victory at Sporting in the Lisbon derby, in injury time.[21]
In the first part of the 2022–23 campaign, Dias made only two appearances as a substitute.[22]
VfB Stuttgart
[edit]Dias joined Bundesliga club VfB Stuttgart on 30 January 2023, for roughly €1 million.[23] He scored on his debut the following day, equalising an eventual 2–1 away win over SC Paderborn 07 in the round of 16 of the DFB-Pokal.[24] His only goal in the league came on 18 February, when he opened the 3–0 home defeat of 1. FC Köln.[25]
On 4 September 2023, Dias was loaned to Legia Warsaw in the Polish Ekstraklasa, with an option to buy.[26][27]
Famalicão
[edit]Dias returned to Famalicão in July 2024, on a permanent three-year deal.[28]
International career
[edit]Dias won his first cap for the Portugal under-21 side on 5 September 2017, in a 2–0 home win against Wales in the 2019 UEFA European Championship qualifiers.[29] The following 27 March, for the same competition but this time as a substitute, he contributed one goal to the 4–2 victory in Switzerland.[30]
