Career
In January 2019, Tuta joined Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt from São Paulo, signing a four-and-half-year contract lasting until 30 June 2023.[3] In August 2019, Tuta joined Belgian club Kortrijk on a season-long loan from Frankfurt.[4] He made his debut for Kortrijk in the Belgian First Division A on 24 November 2019, starting in the away match against Anderlecht, which finished as a 0–0 draw.[5] He made 18 appearances and scored one goal for Kortrijk until April 2020, when the season was ended early due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
He returned to Frankfurt for the Bundesliga 2020-21 season and made four appearances for the club the first half of the season. After Eintracht team captain David Abraham retired from professional football in January 2021, Tuta became a starting player, playing in the central defense together with Evan Ndicka and Martin Hinteregger.[6] Tuta scored his first goal for Frankfurt and in the Bundesliga on 30 October 2021, when he scored the late equalizer in a 1-1 draw against RB Leipzig.[7]
On 18 May 2022, Tuta won the 2021–22 UEFA Europa League title. He appeared in the starting formation in the final against Rangers F.C..[8]
