Club career

Early career

Born in Charneca de Caparica, Almada, Lisbon metropolitan area, Vinagre had two spells in the academy of Sporting CP[3] before joining Ligue 1 club Monaco on 12 June 2015.[4] After spending his first season with the youth side, he signed a professional contract.[5]

In August 2016, a deal was agreed for Vinagre to be loaned to LigaPro side Académica to gain experience,[6] but FIFA, whose approval was required due to the player being under 18, refused to sanction the deal.[7] After an unsuccessful appeal, he returned to his parent club without making any competitive appearances.[8]

Wolverhampton Wanderers

Vinagre agreed to a new deal with Monaco in June 2017, running until summer 2022.[9] Shortly after, he moved on loan to English side Wolverhampton Wanderers for the upcoming season.[10] He made his senior debut on 8 August in a 1–0 win against Yeovil Town in the first round of the EFL Cup.[11] He scored his first goal in professional football on 30 September, the third of his team's 4–0 away victory over Burton Albion in the Championship.[12]

After their promotion to the Premier League as champions, Vinagre signed a five-year-contract for an undisclosed fee on 30 June 2018.[13] The subsequent recruitment of Jonny meant that he was primarily used as a back-up,[14] but still made 17 appearances (21 in all competitions)[15] as they qualified for the UEFA Europa League through a seventh-place finish;[16] his first league match took place on 11 August 2018, when he came on as a late substitute in the 2–2 home draw with Everton.[17][18]

Vinagre made his European debut on 25 July 2019, in Wolves's 2–0 home win over Crusaders in the Europa League second qualifying round, closing the score in injury time.[19] With Jonny seriously injured,[20] he totalled 13 games in the team's run to the quarter-finals, where they were ousted by eventual winners Sevilla.[21]

On 5 October 2020, Vinagre moved to Olympiacos of the Super League Greece on a season-long loan, with an option to make the deal permanent.[22] However, after failing to impose himself at the Pedro Martins-led squad, mainly due to injury problems,[23][24] he joined Famalicão also on loan, rejoining former Wolverhampton teammates Leonardo Campana and Bruno Jordão.[25] He made his Primeira Liga debut for the latter on 8 January 2021, starting in a 1–4 home loss to Porto.[26]

Sporting CP

Vinagre was loaned to Sporting on 9 July 2021, with a buying option.[27] He made only 18 competitive appearances in his first season, and on 1 July 2022 the club signed him permanently.[28]

On 27 July 2022, Vinagre joined Everton on a season-long loan;[29] an option to buy was also included in the deal.[30]

International career

Vinagre contributed five appearances as Portugal won the 2016 UEFA European Under-17 Championship in Azerbaijan, following a penalty shoot-out defeat of Spain.[31] He helped the under-19s to the same achievement two years later, playing the entire 4–3 extra-time victory against Italy in Seinäjoki.[32]

On 11 October 2018, Vinagre won his first cap at under-21 level, in a 9–0 rout in Liechtenstein in the 2019 European Championship qualifiers.[33]
