Vinicius Milani Bueno (born 29 August 2001), simply known as Milani, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a central defender.

Club career

Born in Valinhos, São Paulo, Milani began his career with Amparo and later signed for Ponte Preta, where he was released in 2019.[1] He subsequently moved to Real Brasília, and joined Flamengo on loan on 3 February 2020.[2]

On 27 September 2020, after a COVID-19 outbreak made most of the first team squad unavailable, Milani was called up for a Série A match against Palmeiras,[3] but remained an unused substitute in the 1–1 draw; he later himself tested positive for the disease on 3 October.[4] He then returned to the under-20 team, before leaving the club on 25 December 2021.[5]

Milani moved to Aimoré on loan on 24 March 2022.[6] He made his senior debut on 24 April, replacing Wesley Pacheco late into a 1–0 Série D away win over Próspera, and scored his first goal on 16 July, netting the equalizer in a 3–2 win at Marcílio Dias.[7]

After being a regular starter during both the 2022 Série D and the 2023 Campeonato Gaúcho, Milani left Aimoré in April 2023.[8] On 6 June, still owned by Real Brasília, he signed for Portuguesa until the following April.[9]
