Club career

Born in Aveiro of Angolan descent,[3] Carmo joined Braga's youth academy at the age of 16.[4] On 18 August 2018 he made his senior debut in the LigaPro with their reserves, playing the entire 1–0 home loss against Estoril.[5] He made a further 26 appearances during the season, which ended in relegation.

Carmo had his first call-up to the first team on 17 May 2019, remaining unused in a 2–0 Primeira Liga home win over Portimonense in the last matchday.[6] He appeared in his first top-flight match on 17 January 2020, replacing Raul Silva at half-time of the away fixture with Porto and conceding a penalty shortly after which Francisco Soares failed to convert with the score at 1–0 for the visiting team (Matheus had previously saved one from Alex Telles), in an eventual 2–1 victory.[7][8]

On 25 October 2020, in a 1–0 local derby win at Vitória de Guimarães, Carmo was sent off for a foul on Marcus Edwards; this prompted a melée in which one more player from each team was also shown a red card.[9] He and teammate Fransérgio were suspended for three games, while opponent Jorge Fernandes was banned for two.[10]

On 12 November 2020, Carmo extended his contract for two more years to 2025.[11] He nearly joined Liverpool on a €4 million loan with an obligation to buy in the next winter transfer window, but manager Carlos Carvalhal convinced him to stay as the team also would not have been able to find a suitable replacement in that timeframe.[12][13] On 10 February 2021, in the second half of a 1–1 home draw against Porto in the first leg of the semi-finals of the Taça de Portugal, he broke his leg following a collision with Luis Díaz, who was sent off after a video assistant referee review.[14][15]

Carmo returned to action with the first team 375 days later, playing the entire 1–0 away defeat of Tondela.[16][17] He scored his first goal for the club on 14 April away to Rangers in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa League with an 83th-minute header, being unable to prevent elimination after losing 3–1 away and 3–2 on aggregate.[18][19]

International career

Carmo represented Portugal at under-19 and under-20 level. He started the 2018 UEFA European Under-19 Championship on the bench, but after Diogo Queirós was sent off against Italy in the group stage he never lost his place again, making four appearances for the champions in Finland.[4]
