Diógenes Vinicius da Silva (born 6 January 2001), simply known as Diógenes, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Santos.
Career
Diógenes training with Santos in 2023
Born in Itapecerica da Serra, São Paulo, Diógenes began his career as a centre-back, but soon moved to goal. He played for the youth sides of Taboão da Serra, Internacional and Avaí before agreeing to join Santos in August 2020; he was only registered in October, after the club's transfer ban was lifted.
Promoted to the first team in February 2021, Diógenes became a third-choice in July, behind João Paulo and John. On 13 August, after becoming an immediate backup as John suffered an injury, he renewed his contract with the club until the end of 2024.
Diógenes ended the 2021 season as third-choice after the arrival of Jandrei, and remained in that role in the following year, after John recovered. In September 2022, he was separated from the first team squad due to "indiscipline", but was reintegrated into the squad in the following month.
After spending the 2023 season behind João Paulo and Vladimir, Diógenes was one of the several players deemed surplus to requirements for the 2024 campaign, after the club's first-ever relegation. On 15 January 2024, however, he was again reintegrated, being now second-choice.
Diógenes later became a third-choice after the arrival of Gabriel Brazão, but was again a backup after João Paulo suffered an injury. On 21 August 2024, he renewed his contract with Santos until the end of 2026.
Diógenes made his first team debut with Peixe on 28 October 2024, starting in a 2–0 Série B home win over Ituano. He made his Série A debut the following 12 September, coming on as a second-half substitute for injured Brazão and providing several key stops to secure a 1–1 away draw against Atlético Mineiro.
