Yago de Paula Ferreira (born 2 August 2001), known as Yago Ferreira or just Yago, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Fluminense.
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Yago joined Fluminense's youth sides in 2016, from a local FC Barcelona school in his hometown.[1] He progressed through the youth categories, before being an unused substitute with the main squad in a 0–0 Campeonato Carioca away draw against Boavista on 12 March 2022.[2]
On 18 July 2023, after failing to make a first team breakthrough, Yago moved on loan to Série C side Náutico.[3] He returned to Flu on 19 September, however, after failing to make an appearance for Timbu.[4]
On 18 September 2023, Nova Iguaçu announced the signing of Yago on loan for the 2024 season.[5] He made his senior debut on 21 January 2024, starting in a 1–1 home draw against Flamengo.
Yago scored his first senior goal on 24 January 2024, netting his team's third in a 3–2 away win over Bangu. He was a regular starter for the club during the 2024 Campeonato Carioca, as they reached the finals for the first time ever.[6]
Yago is the son of former footballer Iranildo.[7]
