Born in Salgueiro, Pernambuco, Santos joined Salgueiro Atlético Clube's youth setup in 2005 after starting out at Escolinha de Futebol do Tête.[2] He made his debut for the former in 2008, appearing rarely in the Série C.
In summer 2010, after a loan stint at Araripina Futebol Clube,[3] Santos moved abroad, joining C.D. Trofense. He made his debut on 29 August, starting and scoring his team's only in a 2–1 Segunda Liga away loss against Gil Vicente FC.[4]
After being rarely used during his first season, Santos appeared regularly during his second, scoring a career-best six goals in 28 matches.[3]
On 11 July 2012, Santos signed a two-year contract with S.C. Braga, initially being assigned to the reserves also in the second tier.[5] After being an ever-present figure for the latter, he made his first-team – and Primeira Liga – debut on 9 March of the following year, playing the full 90 minutes of a 2–0 home win over C.S. Marítimo.[6]
Santos scored his first goal in the Portuguese top flight on 3 May 2013, his team's second in the 3–2 victory at Moreirense FC.[7] On 25 September he signed a new five-year deal with a €20 million clause,[8] after the Minho side refused an offer from Stade Rennais FC.[9]
Santos was an undisputed starter the following two campaigns, attracting interest from a number of teams, one of them being AS Monaco FC.[10]
On 27 August 2015, Santos agreed to a five-year deal with Valencia CF for a fee of €9.5m.[11][12][13] His maiden appearance in La Liga occurred on 22 September, as he featured the entire 1–0 away loss against RCD Espanyol.[14]
Santos had subsequent loan spells in his country's Série A, with São Paulo FC and Esporte Clube Vitória.[15][16]
On 24 January 2019, Santos joined Al Ahli Saudi FC.[17] On 13 August, he made a return to Portugal on a season-long loan to Rio Ave FC,[18] signing a permanent contract with the latter club the following May.[19]
