Club career

Born in Barreiro, Setúbal District, Quaresma joined the youth academy of G.D. Fabril at the age of 3 before moving to Sporting CP in 2011.[2] In May 2020, the club rejected a bid of €5 million and Diego Laxalt from A.C. Milan in exchange for his signature.[3] Inter Milan and RB Leipzig were also interested in him, but he agreed to a new contract to tie him to Sporting until 2025, with a €45 million release clause and annual salary of €250,000.[4]

Quaresma made his professional debut in a 2–2 Primeira Liga draw away to Vitória S.C. on 4 June 2020, playing the full game.[5]

Quaresma is a distant relative of the Brazilian former international footballer Zico.[6]
