Vinicius Tobias

Vinícius Augusto Tobías da Silva (born 23 February 2004), known as Vinicius Tobias, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Real Madrid Castilla, on loan from Ukrainian Premier League club Shakhtar Donetsk.

Born in the Jardim Matarazzo quarter of São Paulo, Vinicius Tobias started his career with Internacional, joining in 2016.

After impressive performances for Internacional’s youth teams, he was included in The Guardian's "Next Generation" list for 2021, highlighting the best young footballers worldwide.

In July 2021, it was announced that Vinicius Tobias would join Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk in February of the following year.

He left Internacional after six years playing for them.

However, after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, which occurred just after Vinicius Tobias had moved to his new club, foreign footballers in Ukraine were allowed to leave their clubs on a loan basis.

On 1 April 2022, he joined La Liga club Real Madrid on loan until the end of the 2022–23 season.

As Real Madrid had already utilized all available non-EU slots for the first team squad, Tobias was assigned to the Castilla team.

On 17 April 2022, Tobias made his debut for Castilla in a 2–1 loss against Alcoyano, coming on as a substitute for Peter.

On 6 January 2024, Tobias made his debut for Real Madrid in 3–1 victory against Arandina in a Copa del Rey match.
