Rúben Vinagre

Early career

Born in Charneca de Caparica, Almada, Lisbon metropolitan area, Vinagre had two spells in the academy of Sporting CP before joining Ligue 1 club Monaco on 12 June 2015. After spending his first season with the youth side, he signed a professional contract. In August 2016, a deal was agreed for Vinagre to be loaned to LigaPro side Académica to gain experience, but FIFA, whose approval was required due to the player being under 18, refused to sanction the deal. After an unsuccessful appeal, he returned to his parent club without making any competitive appearances.

Wolverhampton Wanderers

Vinagre agreed to a new deal with Monaco in June 2017, running until summer 2022. Shortly after, he moved on loan to English side Wolverhampton Wanderers for the upcoming season. He made his senior debut on 8 August in a 1–0 win against Yeovil Town in the first round of the EFL Cup. He scored his first goal in professional football on 30 September, the third of his team's 4–0 away victory over Burton Albion in the Championship. After their promotion to the Premier League as champions, Vinagre signed a five-year contract for an undisclosed fee on 30 June 2018. The subsequent recruitment of Jonny meant that he was primarily used as a back-up, but still made 17 appearances (21 in all competitions) as they qualified for the UEFA Europa League through a seventh-place finish; his first league match took place on 11 August 2018, when he came on as a late substitute in…

Vinagre contributed five appearances as Portugal won the 2016 UEFA European Under-17 Championship in Azerbaijan, following a penalty shoot-out defeat of Spain. He helped the under-19s to the same achievement two years later, playing the entire 4–3 extra-time victory against Italy in Seinäjoki. On 11 October 2018, Vinagre won his first cap at under-21 level, in a 9–0 rout in Liechtenstein in the 2019 European Championship qualifiers.
