Club career
Born in Coqueiral, Minas Gerais, Diogo Vitor joined Santos' youth setup in 2010, aged 12; he started his career as a left back, but was later converted to a forward. After progressing through the club's youth setup, he was promoted to the first team by manager Marcelo Fernandes in 2015, but was later demoted back to the under-20s after the arrival of Dorival Júnior.
In January 2016, Diogo Vitor failed to appear in the club's presentation, alleging a toothache. After finally returning to Peixe, he was assigned to the B-side.
On 5 June 2016 Diogo Vitor made his professional debut, coming on as a second-half substitute for Joel in a 3–0 home win against Botafogo for the Série A championship.
