Júlio Carolino Tavares

Júlio Carolino Tavares

Júlio Tavares presses high and attacks space, using his 1.87m frame to pin centre-backs and hold the ball for teammates. Júlio Tavares anchors Dijon’s attack, linking play with incisive passes after securing possession. He stays composed under pressure. He became Dijon’s all-time scorer in 2017 after a prolific eight-season spell. A key turning point was helping Dijon win promotion to Ligue 1 in 2016. Beyond club duties, Júlio Tavares earned 46 caps for Cape Verde, serving as captain and scoring eight international goals. In 2021 he captured the King’s Cup with Al-Faisaly, adding a notable trophy to his résumé. Back at Dijon in 2025, he remains a focal point for direct play and target-man holds in the final third.
