At an early age, Santos became interested in football. His "alma mater" became the club "Nautico Recife", the oldest FC in Brazil, which is famous for its pupils. The guy got here at the age of 17. The footballer immediately decided on the position on the field. Despite the fact that, like any other Brazilian athlete, Douglas loved to play on the offense, but during a trial at the Nautico club, he volunteered for the position of an extreme midfielder. The choice turned out to be the right one - a month later Santos moved to the professional team.

Douglas got into big football in 2012, making his debut in the game of the club "Nautico Recife" against "Central", which took place within the League of Pernambucano. Soon, the guy scored his first goal, and then made his debut in the games of Serie A.

The successful young player was admitted to the Spanish club Granada a year later, where he got a € 2.3 million transfer. At one time, Douglas played for the partner club Udinese, which is part of the Italian Serie A. Cases in Europe at Santos did not go well, so a year later he returned home. In Brazil, he was accepted into the Atletico Mineiro team, for which he played in 99 games in 3 seasons and scored 3 goals during this time.

Already in 2013, the athlete played for the Brazilian youth team, but the young footballer did not manage to visit the field during the South American Championship. But in Toulon, Santos was waiting for success: as part of the same team, he became twice the winner of the tournament.

Immediately after the Olympic Games, the promising player signed a contract with the German club Hamburg. His transfer value reached € 7.5 million.

The left foot is the leading foot of the football player. His strengths are his ability to control the ball and fight for position. Its advantages include attacks on the flank, timely displacement into the middle zone. From the center of Santos, it is easier to make passes to the penalty area. His strong point is passing free kicks and corner passes. According to experts, the Brazilian has no weaknesses. He is 173 cm tall and weighs 71 kg.

The footballer does not hide the fact that he sees games in the Champions League as his career goal. In his youth, he adopted a lot from the technique of his football idol Ronaldinho. Douglas himself especially likes the trick with deceiving the movement of his leg around the ball. Among the clubs, whose game he considers bright, Santos singles out Barcelona, ​​Real and Paris Saint-Germain.

Santos is stingy with information about his personal life. It is known that he has a wife, Christian Louise, and their wedding took place in 2014. The couple have no children yet, but the family is expected to be replenished in 2019. Santos announced this event in January, posting a thematic photo on Instagram.

One of the positive qualities of his chosen one, the athlete calls her culinary abilities, especially the ability to cook feijoada.

Santos adheres to the Christian faith, his reference book, the Bible, is always by his side. Returning home, Douglas spends a lot of time with friends, goes to sea on the surf, plays footvolly.

In mid-2019, Santos terminated cooperation with the German club, making a transfer to the Russian team Zenit. The Russian club paid Hamburg € 10.8 million. The footballer signed a contract for a period of 5 years. The Brazilian's fee in Russia will be € 3 million per year. Earlier, Zenit had already looked closely at Douglas, but bought it only in 2019.

The deal was recognized as beneficial for the Russians, since from their compatriots - the teams Bayer, Hoffenheim and Schalke - the German club requested € 25 million for the ransom of the defender. The coach of the St. Petersburg club, Sergei Semak, is sure that Santos has not yet revealed his full potential, so over time his "price" will only increase, and the deal will pay off.

Now in the blue-white-blue team, Douglas began training at number 3. At one time, Andrei Kondrashov, Bruno Alves, Christian Ansaldi, Ivan Novoseltsev and Denis Terentyev and others played for the team in the form with this figure.
