Born in Vila Nova de Famalicão, Sá played for two teams in his hometown before joining Vitória de Guimarães at the age of 12. In May 2020, he signed a three-year professional contract with a buyout clause of €30 million.[1] The following 4 April, he made his debut in the Primeira Liga, playing all 90 minutes of a 2–1 loss at home to C.D.
