Revealed by Grêmio, Douglas returned to the club in 2021 and was part of the squad that was relegated to Serie B of the Brazilian Championship. More recently, in 2024, the player played for Fluminense, where he made 22 appearances and did not score any goals.

The traditional Italian club spent many years in the first division, but in 2021, due to a major financial crisis, declared bankruptcy. Chievo was ‘refounded’ three years later, in the 2024/25 season, thanks to its greatest idol, former Italian striker Sergio Pelissier, who bought the club’s brand and started using it for his team, Clivense.
