Dante Bonfim Costa Santos

Playing for Nice in the Ligue 1, Dante continues to build on a solid professional career. Hailing from Salvador, this Brazil player has climbed the ranks to establish himself in professional football. As a defender, his 188 cm height and 87 kg weight provide a real physical presence on the pitch. His ability to read trajectories and anticipate opposition movement is one of his key defensive strengths. The move from Bayern München to VfL Wolfsburg (€ 4.5M) in 2015 marked a pivotal moment in his professional development. A winner at the highest level, he has lifted DFB Pokal, Bundesliga, proving his ability to deliver when the stakes are highest. With the 2025/2026 campaign in full swing, he is intent on making his presence felt in Nice's plans. A player of character and quality, he stands out as one of the most compelling profiles in the Ligue 1 this season.
