Club career

Fluminense

Born in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Alex joined Fluminense's youth setup in June 2016, from São Paulo.[1] On 17 January 2018, he appeared as an unused substitute in a 3–1 Campeonato Carioca away loss against Boavista.[2]

Alex made his first team – and Série A – on 27 October 2018, replacing injured Frazan in a 3–0 loss at Santos.[3]

Santos

Alex joined Santos on 7 May 2019, initially assigned to the under-20 squad. Fluminense also retained 30% of the player's federative rights.[4] On 22 January, as both first team regulars Lucas Veríssimo and Felipe Aguilar were injured, he was included in Jesualdo Ferreira's 28-man squad for the 2020 Campeonato Paulista.[5]
