Club career

Brazil

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Douglas joined Fluminense's youth setup in 2004, aged seven.[1] On 6 September 2015 he made his first team – and Série A – debut, starting in a 3–1 home loss against rivals Flamengo.[2]

Douglas became an undisputed starter during the 2016 season, renewing his contract until 2021 in February.[3] He scored his first goal on 13 September of that year in a 4–2 home win against Atlético Mineiro.[4]

PAOK

On 1 July 2019, PAOK have confirmed the arrival of Douglas Augusto from Corinthians, signing a four-year contract with the Brazilian midfielder. Reports have stated that PAOK paid Corinthians €3 million in order to sign Douglas. In January, Douglas was loaned by Corinthians to EC Bahia, and the 22-year-old subsequently made seven appearances for the latter in the 2019 Série A season. Last year, Douglas began the 2018 Série A season with Fluminense FC, but he later transferred to Corinthians for €1 million in the summer. This is Douglas’ first transfer away from his native Brazil.[5] [6] For 2019-2020 and 2020-2021, he was a key member of the team. In the final for the Greek cup of May 22, 2021, PAOK faced OSFP, with Dikefalos of the North prevailing with a score of 2-1. Augusto fought throughout the match.

International career

On 2 July 2021, Douglas Augusto was named in the Brazil squad for the 2020 Summer Olympics, but was forced to withdraw with a thigh injury.[7][8]
