Club career

Born in Santa Cruz de la Sierra,[2] Bolivia to former Brazilian footballer Edu Monteiro, who was playing in the country at the time, Monteiro started his career with a local football school named Toreto Garcia at the age of four.[3] At the age of eleven, he joined professional side Blooming, but only two years later he joined Proyecto Bolivia 2022, a project created to encourage the development of young Bolivian footballers.[3][4]

In late 2018, he moved to Brazil, signing with Santos at the same time as Proyecto Bolivia 2022 teammate Miguel Terceros.[5] Shortly after, the pair were joined by Leonardo Zabala, who Monteiro has known since he was nine, as their parents played football together in Bolivia.[5] Monteiro signed his first professional contract with Santos in June 2022, signing a three-year deal with the option for two additional years.[2]

International career

Monteiro represented Bolivia at the 2019 South American U-15 Championship, making five appearances.[1]
