Renan Augusto Lodi dos Santos (born 8 April 1998), known as Renan Lodi, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club Atlético Mineiro.
Lodi is an international player with the Brazil national team, having participated in the runners-up campaign of the 2021 Copa América.
Club career Athletico Paranaense Born in Serrana, São Paulo, Lodi joined Athletico Paranaense's youth setup in 2012. He made his first team – and Série A – debut on 14 October 2016, starting in a 1–0 away loss against Grêmio.
Lodi subsequently represented the under-23 in the Campeonato Paranaense, and scored his first senior goal on 25 March 2018, netting the opener in a 5–0 home routing of Maringá. Three days later, he extended his contract until March 2021.
Lodi became a regular starter under new manager Tiago Nunes, and renewed his contract until 2022 on 10 August 2018.
Atlético Madrid
On 28 June 2019, La Liga side Atlético Madrid reached an agreement in principle with Athletico Paranaense for the transfer of Lodi. The deal was completed on 7 July 2019 and Lodi signed a six-year contract with the club. On 24 November 2019, Lodi scored his first goal for Atlético in a 1–1 draw with Granada. On 16 May 2021, Lodi came on as a substitute and scored a late equalizing goal in the eventual 2–1 home win over Osasuna that would keep the club in the title race against Real Madrid. The following week, as Atlético won the last game in the competition, Lodi became a 2020–21 La Liga champion as part of the team.
On 15 March 2022, Lodi scored his first Champions League goal to help Atlético Madrid beat Manchester United 1–0 at Old Trafford and qualify for the quarter-finals, securing a 2–1 aggregate win.
Nottingham Forest (loan) On 29 August 2022, Lodi signed for Premier League club Nottingham Forest on a season-long loan deal. He scored his first goal for Nottingham Forest on 9 November 2022 against Tottenham Hotspur in the EFL Cup.
Marseille On 14 July 2023, Olympique de Marseille confirmed that they had reached an agreement to acquire Renan Lodi from Atlético Madrid, having already agreed personal terms with him, for a transfer fee of €13 million with a 20% sell-on clause.
Al-Hilal On 17 January 2024, Lodi signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal for a reported fee of €23 million. In September 2025, he unilaterally ended his contract with the club upon his return to his homeland. The decision came after being left out of the 2025–26 Saudi Pro League squad due to the foreign player limit.
Atlético Mineiro On 24 December 2025, Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club Atlético Mineiro announced an agreement in principle to sign Lodi on a free transfer and a five-year contract. On 27 December, the deal was made official.
