Álvaro Djaló Dias-Fernandes (born 16 August 1999) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a left winger or forward for La Liga club Athletic Bilbao.

Career

[edit]

Born in Madrid, Djaló spent part of his upbringing in the Bilbao area and played for local clubs including SD Begoña [es][3][4] before moving to Portugal with Braga in 2017.[5] He began his senior career with Braga's reserves in 2020, and signed his first professional contract with the club on 22 April 2022, to run until 2025.[6][7] In July 2022, he started training with the senior team in preparation for the 2022–23 season.[8]

Djaló made his professional and Primeira Liga debut as a late substitute against Sporting CP on 7 August 2022, and assisted his side's final goal to tie the game at 3–3.[9]

In March 2024, Braga and Athletic Bilbao agreed an initial €15 million fee with potential add-ons (one of the Basque club's biggest transfer outlays) for the transfer of 24-year-old Djaló at the end of the 2023–24 season,[10] with the player meeting the requirements of the Athletic Bilbao signing policy due to his years spent in the region as a juvenile.

Personal life

[edit]

Born in Spain, Djaló is of Bissau-Guinean descent.[11] His cousin Adu Ares is also a footballer.[4]
