Youth career Due to Alves' Brazilian background, he travelled to visit some family in Brazil. Alves played with his cousins and took part in a few training matches, before he was spotted by an agent, which he made a deal with. The agent then brought 15-year old Alves to
Coritiba. Alves returned to Denmark after two years in Brazil and joined
Silkeborg.
Silkeborg In the summer 2018, 19-year old Alves signed a one-year trainee-contract with
Silkeborg which meant, that he was going to train with the first team but play with the U19s. On 26 September 2018, Alves got his official debut for Silkeborg in a
Danish Cup game against
Næstved BK, where he was among the 11 starting players. On 1 November 2018, he signed a new deal until the end of 2020. Except for the following two games, Alves played all of the remaining games for Silkeborg and helped the team promoting to the
Danish Superliga which also gained him a spot on the
Danish U-20 national team. On 1 June 2019, Alves signed a new contract until the summer 2024.
West Ham United On 4 November 2020, Silkeborg announced that they had sold Alves to an unnamed club, believed to be English
Premier League club
West Ham United. On 22 December 2020, West Ham announced the signing of Alves for an undisclosed fee, on a three-and-a-half-year contract commencing on 2 January 2021.
Loan to Sunderland Alves joined Sunderland on a season-long loan for the
2021–22 EFL League One season on 13 August 2021. He made his Sunderland debut, in the
EFL Cup on 24 August, in a 3–2 win against
Blackpool. On 14 January 2022, Alves' loan to Sunderland was cut short and he returned to West Ham United. During his loan period "disciplinary issues" occurred forcing him to be omitted from the team. He also suffered lack of game time as he could not force his way into the team ahead of
Callum Doyle,
Tom Flanagan and
Bailey Wright. He played 10 games in all competitions during his loan at Sunderland.
Brøndby On 31 January 2022, Alves returned to Denmark to join reigning
Danish Superliga champions
Brøndby on a four-and-a-half-year contract. He made his competitive debut on 6 March 2022, coming on as a late substitute for
Mathias Kvistgaarden in a 1–0 league win away to his former club
Silkeborg. Alves scored his first goal for the club on 3 December 2023, contributing to a 4–0 Superliga victory over
Hvidovre at
Brøndby Stadium. Later that season he suffered an Achilles injury which developed into an infection, requiring surgery in March 2024 and ruling him out for the remainder of the
2023–24 campaign. On 23 January 2025, Alves signed a new contract with Brøndby, extending his stay until June 2028. During the same transfer window, Danish media reported interest from
Trabzonspor in signing him, which ultimately came to nothing—a story Alves later confirmed himself. ==Style of play==
