Nuno Miguel Valente Santos (born 2 March 1999) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Vitória de Guimarães.
Born in Porto, Santos was a youth player at his city's two major teams, Boavista F.C. and FC Porto, before joining S.L. Benfica in 2012.[3] He made his debut for the reserve team in LigaPro on 8 August 2017 as the season opened with a 2–1 away loss against U.D. Oliveirense,[4] and scored his first goal the following 6 January at the end of a 3–1 defeat at FC Porto B.[5] In 2018–19 he scored a career-best seven goals (adding five in seven matches in the UEFA Youth League), subsequently renewing his contract until 2024.[6]
By then captain of Benfica B, Santos was loaned to Primeira Liga club Moreirense F.C. on 29 January 2020.[7] He made his top-flight debut four days later by starting in a 5–1 away victory over Gil Vicente FC.[8] His first goal at the level came on 11 July to win the game at B-SAD.[9]
Santos continued to be loaned the following two seasons, to Boavista[10] and F.C. Paços de Ferreira.[11] On 19 November 2021, while in service of the latter side, he put his team ahead against his parent club in the fourth round of the Taça de Portugal, but in a 4–1 loss.[12][13]
On 5 August 2022, Santos signed a two-year deal with Charlotte FC.[14] He scored his only Major League Soccer goal on 17 September in the 3–2 away defeat of Chicago Fire FC,[15] and also spent time with the reserve team Crown Legacy FC.[16]
Santos returned to Portugal in July 2023, joining top-flight Vitória S.C. on a four-year contract.[17][18]
Santos was part of Hélio Sousa's Portugal under-19 team that won the 2018 UEFA European Championship in Finland. He made three substitute appearances in the tournament, including one in extra time of the final.[19]
On 5 September 2019, Santos earned his first cap for the under-21s, in a 4–0 home defeat of Gibraltar in the 2021 UEFA European Championship qualifiers.[20]
