Tiago Fontoura da Fonseca Morais (born 3 September 2003) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a winger for Primeira Liga club Rio Ave, on loan from Ligue 1 club Lille.
Club career
Boavista
Morais made his professional debut with Boavista in a 4–1 Primeira Liga loss to S.C. Braga on 28 December 2020. At 17 years and 3 months old, Morais is the youngest debutant for Boavista in the Primeira Liga.
On 1 August 2021, Morais scored a brace in a 2–0 home victory over Portimonense, in the second round of the Taça da Liga; becoming Boavista's youngest ever goalscorer at 17 years and 332 days, breaking João Vieira Pinto's previous record.
On 23 August 2022, Morais signed a new contract with Boavista until 2026 and was sent on a season-long loan to Liga Portugal 2 club Leixões S.C. Five days later, he made his debut for the Matosinhos side, coming off the bench to replace Kiki Silva in the final minutes of a 3–0 home victory over Nacional in the league. On 1 October 2022, Morais scored his first goal for Leixões, the second in a 5–0 thrashing away at Campeonato de Portugal side CF Vasco da Gama Vidigueira, in the second round of the Taça de Portugal. He scored his first league goal on 12 March 2023, in a 1–1 draw at home to Estrela da Amadora in the Liga Portugal 2.
After returning from his loan at Leixões, Morais scored his first Primeira Liga goal for Boavista on 19 August 2023, in a 4–1 victory away at Portimonense.
Lille
On 30 January 2024, Morais signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with Ligue 1 club Lille. The French side paid a reported €4 million transfer fee.
In July 2024, Morais returned to Portugal, joining Rio Ave on a season-long loan deal.
International career
Internationally, Morais has represented Portugal at U18 and U19 level. He made his debut for the U18s on 5 June 2021, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 2–1 home victory over Norway in a friendly game. On 3 September of the same year, Morais made his debut for the U19s, starting in a 2–0 home defeat to Belgium, again in a friendly.
