Born in Jardim Matarazzo, São Paulo, Vinicius Tobias started his career with Internacional, joining in 2016.[2] Growing up, he idolised fellow Brazilian full-back, Daniel Alves.[2] After impressive performances for Internacional’s youth teams, he was included in The Guardian's "Next Generation" list for 2021, highlighting the best young footballers worldwide.[3]
In July 2021, it was announced that Vinicius Tobias would join Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk in February of the following year.[4] He left Internacional after six years playing for them.[5] However, after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, which occurred just after Vinicius Tobias had moved to his new club, foreign footballers in Ukraine were allowed to leave their clubs on a loan basis. On 1 April 2022, he joined Spanish club Real Madrid on loan until the end of the 2022–23 season.[6][7] As Real Madrid had already utilized all available non-EU slots for the first team squad, Vinicius Tobias was assigned to the Castilla team.[8]
On 17 April 2022, Tobias made his debut for Castilla in a 2–1 loss against Alcoyano, coming on as a substitute for Peter.
