Developed at Internacional, the full-back has earned call-ups to Brazil’s youth national teams and played for five seasons in German football with FC Augsburg, the club he represented before joining Bahia. Late in the afternoon, Iago already appeared in the CBF’s BID and is cleared to play for Tricolor.
