Enzo Eduardo Monteiro de Castro Becerra (born 27 May 2004) is a Bolivian professional footballer who plays as a forward for the Brazilian club Santos and the Bolivia national team.

Club career

Born in Santa Cruz de la Sierra as his father was playing in the country at the time, Monteiro started his career with a local football school named Toreto Garcia at the age of four. At the age of eleven, he joined professional side Blooming. Still, only two years later, he joined Proyecto Bolivia 2022, a project created to encourage the development of young Bolivian men's footballers.

In late 2018, Monteiro moved to Brazil, signing with Santos at the same time as Proyecto Bolivia 2022 teammates Miguel Terceros and Christian Osinaga. Shortly after, the pair were joined by Leonardo Zabala, who Monteiro has known since he was nine, as their parents played football together in Bolivia.

Monteiro signed his first professional contract with Santos in June 2022, signing a three-year deal with the option for two additional years. He made his first team debut on 20 April 2024, starting in a 2–0 Série B home win over Paysandu.

International career

Monteiro represented Bolivia at the 2019 South American U-15 Championship, making five appearances. On 18 August 2023, he was called up to the full side for a friendly against Panama, and made his full international debut eleven days later, coming on as a late substitute for Víctor Ábrego in the 2–1 loss at the Estadio Félix Capriles in Cochabamba.

Personal life

Monteiro's father Edu Monteiro is a former Brazilian footballer who also played forward. His older brother Ronaldo, also born in Bolivia, plays as a forward as well.
