Douglas Pereira dos Santos (born 6 August 1990), simply known as Douglas (Brazilian Portuguese: [ˈdowɡlɐs]), is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Turkish club Sivasspor on a loan from Barcelona.
Career
Goiás
Born in Monte Alegre de Goiás, Douglas joined Goiás' youth setup in 2002, aged 12,[1] and was promoted to the first-team in 2009, mainly as a backup to Vítor. He made his professional – and Série A – debut on 20 June 2009, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–2 away draw against Grêmio.[2]
Douglas was handed his first start on 15 July, in a 0–2 home loss against Avaí.[3] He finished the campaign with 14 appearances (seven starts, 741 minutes of action), as his side finished ninth.
In 2010, after Victor's departure to Palmeiras, Douglas became the club's first-choice, appearing in 24 matches but being relegated. He scored his first professional goal on 15 July 2011, netting the last of a 4–1 home routing over Vitória for the Série B championship.[4]
Douglas finished the season with 26 appearances, scoring five goals as the Esmeraldino finished in the 11th place.
São Paulo
On 11 February 2012, Douglas signed a three-year deal with São Paulo.[5] However, he missed the whole Campeonato Paulista due to a pubalgia.
Douglas made his debut for Tricolor on 6 June 2012, starting in a 0–1 away loss against Internacional.[6] He scored his first goal for the club on 14 October, netting the last of a 2–0 home success against Figueirense.[7] He was also a regular in the club's Copa Sudamericana winning campaign.
Douglas featured regularly for the club in 2013, but faced fierce competition with new signing Paulo Miranda.[8] The latter was later more used as a central defender, while the former also appeared as a central midfielder in some occasions.
In 2014 Douglas was again challenged by another new face, Luis Ricardo. He was mainly a backup to the latter during the year's Campeonato Paulista, but later retained his place in the starting XI.
Barcelona
On 26 August 2014, Douglas agreed a five-year deal with La Liga club Barcelona for amount of €14 million fee plus €1.5 million in add-ons.[9] He signed his contract with the Catalans three days later,[10] being presented hours later.[11][12]
After being an unused substitute in Barça's 1–0 home win against APOEL for the season's UEFA Champions League, Douglas made his debut on 24 September, starting and being booked in a 0–0 draw at Málaga.[13] He was later criticized for his performance, and was demoted to third-choice right back behind Dani Alves and Martín Montoya, only being limited to appear in Copa del Rey.[14]
Loan deals
On 26 August 2016, Barcelona and Sporting de Gijón reached an agreement for the season-long loan of Douglas.[15] He made his debut for the Asturians on 17 September in a 5–0 loss at Atlético Madrid, and scored his first goal in Spanish football on 4 December in a 3–1 win against Osasuna at El Molinón.[16] He totalled 23 appearances and three goals over the season, but Sporting were relegated.
On 30 August 2017, Douglas joined Portuguese champions Benfica on a season-long loan deal.[17]
On 24 July 2018, Douglas was loaned once again, this time to Turkish side Sivasspor.[18] His first goal for Sivasspor was in a Süper Lig match with Trabzonspor.[19]
International career
Douglas was a member of the Brazil national under-20 team, appearing in the 2009 South American U-20 Championship and 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[20]
