Vieira made his senior debut with FC Porto B on 24 February 2019, coming on as a 57th-minute substitute for João Mário in a 0–1 away defeat to F.C. Arouca for the LigaPro.[4] Six months and a day later, he scored for the first time with a penalty in a 3–1 away victory over S.C. Farense.[5]

Vieira played his first competitive match with the first team on 10 June 2020, featuring 19 minutes in the 1–0 Primeira Liga home defeat of C.S. Marítimo.[6][7] Again from the bench, he scored his first goal in the competition on 5 July to help the hosts beat Belenenses SAD 5–0,[8] and totalled eight appearances at the end of the season for the eventual champions.[9]

On 27 October 2020, in only his second appearance in the UEFA Champions League, Vieira netted in the 2–0 win against Olympiacos F.C. in the group stage after starting at the Estádio do Dragão.[10]
