Club career
Born in Santa Cruz de la Sierra[2] as his father was playing in the country at the time, Monteiro started his career with a local football school named Toreto Garcia at the age of four.[3] At the age of eleven, he joined professional side Blooming. Still, only two years later, he joined Proyecto Bolivia 2022, a project created to encourage the development of young Bolivian men's footballers.[3][4]
In late 2018, Monteiro moved to Brazil, signing with Santos at the same time as Proyecto Bolivia 2022 teammates Miguel Terceros and Christian Osinaga.[5] Shortly after, the pair were joined by Leonardo Zabala, who Monteiro has known since he was nine, as their parents played football together in Bolivia.[5]
Monteiro signed his first professional contract with Santos in June 2022, signing a three-year deal with the option for two additional years.[2] He made his first team debut on 20 April 2024, starting in a 2–0 Série B home win over Paysandu.[6]
On 3 February 2025, Santos loaned Monteiro to FK Auda of the Latvian Higher League for the season.[7] On 8 January 2026, he renewed with Santos until the end of 2027, and was loaned to K League 2 side Chungbuk Cheongju until the end of the year.[8]
International career
Monteiro represented Bolivia at the 2019 South American U-15 Championship, making five appearances.[1] On 18 August 2023, he was called up to the full side for a friendly against Panama,[9] and made his full international debut eleven days later, coming on as a late substitute for Víctor Ábrego in the 2–1 loss at the Estadio Félix Capriles in Cochabamba.[10]
