Born in Lisbon of Angolan descent,[3][4] Camacho joined Liverpool’s academy from Sporting CP at the end of the 2015–16 season following a successful trial. He is a versatile player who can play anywhere across the front line but had also featured at right back and wing back.[5][6]
Camacho was named on the substitutes' bench for the Merseyside Derby against Everton in the Premier League on 7 April 2018 as a late injury replacement for Alberto Moreno but did not make an appearance.[7] In December 2018 he was named on the bench for games against Burnley and Manchester United.[8] He made his senior debut in the FA Cup third round against Wolverhampton Wanderers on 7 January 2019,[9][10] and his league debut 12 days later, coming on as a late substitute in a 4–3 win over Crystal Palace.[11]
On 27 June 2019, Camacho rejoined Sporting CP on a five-year contract for a reported fee of £7 million.[12][13]
On 1 February 2021, Camacho agreed to a loan move to Rio Ave for the remainder of the season.[14]
On 12 July 2022, he joined Aris on a season-long loan. [15]
