Club career
Sporting
Born in Bissau, Baldé moved to Portugal before his tenth birthday. In 2013, he signed with Sporting CP for his last year as a junior, arriving for free from S.U. Sintrense.[1]
On 11 May 2014, Baldé made his professional debut with the reserves, coming on as a 75th-minute substitute in a 1–0 away win against S.C. Braga B for the Segunda Liga.[2] In January 2015, he was loaned to third division side Sport Benfica e Castelo Branco until June.[3]
Returned to Sporting B for 2015–16, Baldé scored his first league goal on 30 September 2015, but in a 1–3 home defeat to S.C. Olhanense.[4] He totalled 38 appearances during the season, helping to a tenth-place finish in the second level.
In the summer of 2017, Baldé went on loan to Primeira Liga club C.D. Aves.[5] His first match in the competition occurred on 11 September, when he started as a right back in the 2–1 home victory over C.F. Os Belenenses.[6]
In February 2019, Baldé became Aves' all-time scorer in the Portuguese top division with nine goals.[1]
Dijon
On 27 June 2019, Baldé joined Dijon FCO on a three-year contract.[7]
International career
Baldé won his first cap for Guinea-Bissau on 8 June 2019, in a friendly against Angola where he replaced Toni Silva (2–0 loss in Penafiel).[8]
