Igor Vinícius de Souza (born 1 April 1997), known as Igor Vinícius, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a right-back for São Paulo.
Born in Sinop, Mato Grosso,[1] Igor joined Santos' youth setup in 2010, aged 12.[2] After progressing through the club's youth setup, he was called up to the main squad for a Copa do Brasil match against Santos-AP on 20 April 2016.[2]
Igor made his professional debut on 21 April 2016, coming on as a half-time substitute for fellow youth graduate Leandrinho in the 1–1 draw at the Zerão.[3] He featured in just one more match for the first team before leaving in August of the following year.[4]
In September 2017, Igor signed with Ituano until the end of 2019, being initially assigned to the under-20s to build match fitness.[5] A regular starter during the 2018 Campeonato Paulista, he scored his first senior goal on 17 January in a 3–1 home win against São Caetano.
On 27 March 2018, Igor was loaned to Ponte Preta until the end of the season.[6] He was an undisputed starter for Ponte during the year, contributing with 30 appearances as his side narrowly missed out promotion.
On 4 December 2018, Igor signed a one-year loan deal with São Paulo.[7] He made his debut for the club the following 3 February, starting in a 1–0 home win against São Bento.
Initially a first-choice, Igor lost space to Hudson, during the latter stages of the 2019 Campeonato Paulista. He made his Série A debut on 27 April 2019, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–0 home defeat of Botafogo.
Igor scored his first goal in the top tier on 8 December 2019, netting his team's second in a 2–1 away success over CSA.
