Diogo Filipe Monteiro Pinto Leite (born 23 January 1999) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Bundesliga club Union Berlin.

Club career

Porto

Born in Porto, Leite joined FC Porto's youth academy at the age of 9.[4] He made his professional debut with the reserve team on 27 August 2017, playing the entire 1–0 home win against C.D. Santa Clara for the LigaPro.[5]

In late July 2018, due to several injuries to the back sector,[6] first-team manager Sérgio Conceição called Leite for the upcoming Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira match against C.D. Aves;[7] he partnered Felipe in that match, a 3–1 victory in Aveiro.[8] Shortly before that event, he had renewed his contract until 2023.[4]

Leite's maiden appearance in the Primeira Liga took place on 11 August 2018 in the season opener, and he again played the entire 5–0 home defeat of G.D. Chaves.[9] He scored his first goal in the competition the following weekend, helping to a 3–2 victory at B-SAD;[10] shortly after, however, he returned to the reserves.[11]

On 31 August 2021, Leite was loaned to S.C. Braga for one year.[12] He made 34 competitive appearances during his spell at the Estádio Municipal de Braga, but only five in the last three months.[13][14]

Union Berlin

In July 2022, still owned by Porto, Leite joined 1. FC Union Berlin with a buying option.[15] After a successful first season, helping the Bundesliga club to secure qualification for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in its history and totalling 40 games, he signed a permanent contract for €7.500.000.[16]

International career

Leite won his first cap for Portugal at under-21 level at the age of only 19, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 3–2 friendly win over Italy.[17] He was later used as a starter by coach Rui Jorge in both legs of the 2019 UEFA European Championship play-offs, lost to Poland 3–1 on aggregate.[18][19]

In October 2022, Leite was named in a preliminary 55-man squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.[20] On 26 March 2023, he remained on the bench of a 6–0 victory in Luxembourg for the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers.[21]
