Nathan Santos de Araújo (born 5 September 2001), known as Nathan Santos or just Nathan, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Internacional, on loan from Santos.

Career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Nathan joined Vasco da Gama's youth setup in May 2017, from Portuguesa-RJ; the transfer was controversial, as Vasco only registered his contract in June 2018, and later denied Portuguesa's claim over a 30% sell-on clause.[2] In January 2019, Spanish club Valencia made an offer for him,[3] but the move never materialized.

Nathan featured as an unused substitute for the main squad of Vasco in two matches of the 2020 Campeonato Carioca.

Boavista

[edit]

On 13 September 2020, Nathan moved abroad for the first time in his career, after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with Primeira Liga side Boavista,[4][5] with an obligation to buy.[6] He made his professional debut thirteen days later, replacing Jesús Alejandro Gómez late into a 5–0 home loss to FC Porto.[7]

After making 15 appearances overall in his first season, Nathan signed a permanent deal until June 2025 on 30 June 2021.[8] He established himself as a regular during the 2021–22 campaign, and scored his first professional goal on 16 December 2021, netting his team's fourth in a 5–1 home routing of Braga, in the Taça da Liga.[9]

Santos

On 27 June 2023, Nathan was fined 50% of his wages and separated from the first team squad due to disciplinary reasons, being also transfer-listed by the club.[12]

Loan to Famalicão

[edit]

On 7 August 2023, Nathan returned to Portugal after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with Famalicão.[13]

Loan to Internacional

[edit]

On 27 August 2024, Nathan was announced at Internacional on loan until June 2025.[14]
