Club career

Belenenses

Ribeiro was born in Lisbon, and he joined C.F. Os Belenenses' youth system at the age of 15. He made his Primeira Liga debut for the renamed Belenenses SAD on 15 September 2019, playing the entire 3–1 away win against C.S. Marítimo.[2][3]

In January 2020, Ribeiro injured his right knee during training, going on to be sidelined for several months.[4] He continued to be a starter under Petit after his recovery,[5] scoring his first league goal on 20 February 2021 to open a 2–1 home victory over C.D. Nacional.[6] The previous 27 December, he had been sent off for two quick yellow cards in the 1–2 loss to Sporting CP also at the Estádio Nacional, the second for handball.[7]

Grasshoppers

On 26 January 2022, Ribeiro signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with Swiss Super League club Grasshopper Club Zürich, rejoining his compatriots and former Belenenses teammates André Moreira and André Santos.[8]
