Born in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo state, Ribeiro began his career in the youth team of hometown club Botafogo-SP before joining Atlético Mineiro.

[10] Ribeiro surpassed Salin and Emiliano Viviano as the first-choice goalkeeper at the Estádio José Alvalade, and in January 2019 the club activated the €1 million permanent transfer clause, tying him to them until 2023.

[11] Also that month, he helped them win the Taça da Liga with penalty shootout victories over S.C. Braga (semi-final) and Porto (final); he saved three times against the former and once more from Hernâni in the latter to lift the trophy on his mother's birthday.

[14] Ribeiro was sent off on 12 December 2019 in the UEFA Europa League, for conceding a penalty in the 34th minute of a 3–0 loss at Austria's LASK; the result meant that Sporting finished second in their group.

[16] Having not played since his red card against LASK, Ribeiro was released on 20 July 2022 with one year remaining on his contract, freeing up €1.3 million in Sporting's annual wages.
