Dinis Costa Lima Almeida (born 28 June 1995) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Greek club Xanthi F.C. on loan from AS Monaco FC.

Club career

Born in Esposende, Braga District, Almeida finished his development at Varzim SC. His senior debut occurred in 2013–14, as he scored a career-best seven goals to help G.D. Joane finish fifth in the regular season third division but eventually being relegated.

Almeida then spent two years in the Spanish Segunda División B, with CF Reus Deportiu.[1] In the summer of 2016 he signed with AS Monaco FC, being immediately loaned to C.F. Os Belenenses in his country's Primeira Liga.[2] He made his debut in the competition on 27 August, coming on as a 46th-minute substitute in a 1–0 away win against C.D. Tondela;[3] his first and only goal arrived in only his fourth appearance, helping the visitors to a 3–1 away defeat of Sporting Clube de Portugal.[4]

On 31 August 2017, still owned by Monaco, Almeida was loaned to S.C. Braga, being assigned to their reserves in the Segunda Liga.[5] In the following campaign, in the same situation, he signed with Xanthi F.C. from Greece.[6]
