In order to more easily fit in with the Bulgarian team, he joined Ludogorets II. On April 18, he made his league debut with the second team against Litex Lovech, scoring his first goal in the process.

Thiago agreed to a four-year contract with Club Brugge, a team in the Belgian Pro League, on June 12, 2023. Ludogorets received a price that was unprecedented for a Bulgarian club.
