Bebé: Biography, Facts and Career

Tiago Manuel Dias Correia (born 12 July 1990), commonly known as Bebé, is a professional footballer who plays as either a winger or attacking midfielder for Primera Federación – Group 2 club Ibiza. Born in Portugal, and a former Portuguese youth international at under-21 level, he represents the Cape Verde national team. Abandoned by his parents at a young age, Bebé grew up in a homeless shelter near Lisbon. He began his football career as an amateur with Loures, before joining Estrela da Amadora in 2009. A year later, he was signed by Vitória de Guimarães but transferred almost immediately to Manchester United for a fee of about £7 million, despite manager Alex Ferguson admitting he had never seen Bebé play. Unable to make an impression on the Manchester United first team, he spent time on loan with Turkish side Beşiktaş and back in Portugal with Rio Ave and Paços de Ferreira, before joining Benfica permanently in July 2014. After loan spells in Spain with Córdoba and Rayo Vallecano, he joined Eibar in July 2016. He returned to Rayo in 2018, initially on loan. He had a loan spell at Zaragoza in the 2022–23 season.
