Diego Júnior was born and raised in Méier, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Despite being only 19 years old, he is already regarded as a talented young goalkeeper and has been attracting attention from top clubs across the league. He currently plays as the second choice at Club Sportivo Palermo but is eager to prove himself and become the regular starter. In his free time, Júnior loves to return to Brazil where he enjoys being close to his friends and family. He has been rumoured to be linked with a variety of popular celebrities, including Larissa Manoela and Jade Picon. However, these are just rumours and Júnior has not confirmed or denied them, although tabloids continue to write about him. It’s highly unlikely these rumours are true.
