Domingos André Ribeiro Almeida (born 30 May 2000) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for La Liga club Valencia.
He began his career at Vitória de Guimarães, playing 89 total games before a €7.5 million transfer to Valencia in 2022.
Born in Guimarães, Minho Province, Almeida joined the academy of Vitória S.C. before his 10th birthday. [2] On 6 August 2016, at only 16, he made his senior debut with the reserve side in the LigaPro, playing 77 minutes in a 2–1 away loss against C.D. Santa Clara. [3]
Almeida appeared in his first match in the Primeira Liga with the first team on 18 August 2019, starting in the 1–1 home draw with Boavista FC. [4] He scored his first goal in the competition on 8 September, in the away fixture against Rio Ave FC (same result). [5] The previous March, he had signed a professional contract until 2022 with a buyout clause of €20 million. [2]
On 25 August 2022, Almeida joined Valencia CF on a six-year deal; the transfer fee was the Spanish club's highest of the transfer window, €7.5 million in five instalments. [6] He made his La Liga debut on 4 September in a 5–1 home win over Getafe CF as a 70th-minute substitute. [7] Thirteen days later, he scored to conclude a 3–0 victory against RC Celta de Vigo also at Mestalla Stadium. [8]
Almeida earned his first cap for the Portugal under-21 team on 6 September 2021, starting a 1–0 home victory over Belarus in the 2023 UEFA European Championship qualifiers. [9] The following month, also during that stage, he contributed one goal to the 11–0 demolition of Liechstenstein in Vizela. [10]
Picked for the finals in Georgia and Romania, [11] Almeida opened a 1–1 group-stage draw against the Netherlands [12] in an eventual quarter-final exit. [13]
