Club career edit
Born in Curitiba, Paraná, Bento joined Athletico Paranaense' youth setup in 2013, at the age of 14.[1] Promoted to the first team for the 2020 season, he was initially a fifth-choice behind Santos, Jandrei, Anderson and Caio, and renewed his contract until 2023 in July of that year.[2]
On 25 November 2020, as both Santos and Jandrei tested positive for COVID-19, Bento made his first team debut by starting in a 1–1 Copa Libertadores home draw against River Plate.[3] He made his Série A debut three days later, starting in a 3–0 away loss against Palmeiras.
On 30 March 2021, Bento renewed his contract with Furacão until December 2024.[4] He further extended his link until 2025 on 26 October,[5] and became a first-choice in the 2022 season, after Santos left for Flamengo.[6]
International career edit
In August 2023, Bento received his first call-up to the Brazil senior national team by interim head coach Fernando Diniz, for two 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification matches against Bolivia and Peru.[7][8]
He made his debut on 23 March 2024 in a 1-0 friendly match win against England.[9]
