Club career

[edit]

Internacional

[edit]

Born in the Jardim Matarazzo quarter of São Paulo, Vinicius Tobias started his career with Internacional, joining in 2016.[2] After impressive performances for Internacional’s youth teams, he was included in The Guardian's "Next Generation" list for 2021, highlighting the best young footballers worldwide.[3]

Shakhtar Donetsk

[edit]

In July 2021, it was announced that Vinicius Tobias would join Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk in February of the following year.[4] He left Internacional after six years playing for them.[5] However, after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, which occurred just after Vinicius Tobias had moved to his new club, foreign footballers in Ukraine were allowed to leave their clubs on a loan basis.

Loan to Real Madrid Castilla

[edit]

On 1 April 2022, he joined La Liga club Real Madrid on loan until the end of the 2022–23 season.[6][7] As Real Madrid had already utilized all available non-EU slots for the first team squad, Tobias was assigned to the Castilla team.[8]

On 17 April 2022, Tobias made his debut for Castilla in a 2–1 loss against Alcoyano, coming on as a substitute for Peter.[9]

On 6 January 2024, Tobias made his debut for Real Madrid in 3–1 victory against Arandina in a Copa del Rey match.[10]

Return to Shakhtar Donetsk

[edit]

On 27 June 2024, Shakhtar Donetsk announced the return of Tobias after two seasons with Real Madrid Castilla.[11] On 17 July 2024, Shakhtar announced that they had signed a new contract with Tobias, keeping the defender at the club until 30 June 2029.[12]
