Club career

Born in Santa Cruz de la Sierra [2] as his father was playing in the country at the time, Monteiro started his career with a local football school named Toreto Garcia at the age of four. [3] At the age of eleven, he joined professional side Blooming. Still, only two years later, he joined Proyecto Bolivia 2022, a project created to encourage the development of young Bolivian men's footballers. [3] [4]

In late 2018, Monteiro moved to Brazil, signing with Santos at the same time as Proyecto Bolivia 2022 teammates Miguel Terceros and Christian Osinaga. [5] Shortly after, the pair were joined by Leonardo Zabala, who Monteiro has known since he was nine, as their parents played football together in Bolivia. [5]

Monteiro signed his first professional contract with Santos in June 2022, signing a three-year deal with the option for two additional years. [2] He made his first team debut on 20 April 2024, starting in a 2–0 Série B home win over Paysandu. [6]

On 3 February 2025, Santos loaned Monteiro to FK Auda of the Latvian Higher League for the season. [7]

International career

Monteiro represented Bolivia at the 2019 South American U-15 Championship, making five appearances. [1] On 18 August 2023, he was called up to the full side for a friendly against Panama, [8] and made his full international debut eleven days later, coming on as a late substitute for Víctor Ábrego in the 2–1 loss at the Estadio Félix Capriles in Cochabamba. [9]

Personal life

Monteiro's father Edu Monteiro is a former Brazilian footballer who also played forward. His older brother Ronaldo, also born in Bolivia, plays as a forward as well. [10]
