Ronaldo Rodrigues Tavares (born 22 July 1997) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a forward for K League 1 club FC Seoul, on loan from Estrela da Amadora.

Club career

Born in Amora (Seixal), Setúbal District, Tavares joined Sporting CP's academy at the age of 16, from local Paio Pires Futebol Clube.[2] He made his professional debut with the former's reserves on 10 January 2016, coming on as a second-half substitute for Rafael Barbosa in a 2–0 away loss against C.D. Feirense in the Segunda Liga.[3]

Tavares scored his first goal in the competition on 20 August 2016, but in a 2–4 home defeat to AD Fafe.[4] In March 2018, he was called by first-team manager Jorge Jesus for a match against FC Viktoria Plzeň in the UEFA Europa League round of 16,[2] but eventually did not leave the bench.[5]

On 23 July 2018, Tavares was loaned to C.D. Cova da Piedade.[6] In the summer of 2019, he cut ties with Sporting and signed with F.C. Penafiel also of the second division.[7]

In September 2022, Tavares joined C.F. Estrela da Amadora following an aborted transfer to Turkish club Tuzlaspor.[8] He scored seven goals in his first season, as the team returned to the Primeira Liga after a 14-year absence;[9] he opened the 2–1 home victory over G.D. Estoril Praia on 25 August 2023, their first since returning to that tier.[10]

Tavares was loaned to FC Seoul on 20 June 2024.[11] He scored his first K League 1 goal nine days later, closing the 5–1 away win against Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors.[12]

International career

Tavares earned one cap for Portugal at under-20 level, in the 1–1 friendly draw with South Korea on 25 January 2017.[13]
