Alves was born in Madrid to Brazilian international footballer Marcelo and actress Clarice Alves.
Alves began his career with Santa Ana, where he spent three years before a move to Real Madrid, the club where his father had played for fifteen years. On his debut for the club's 'Infantil B' side, he scored a hat-trick. During his first years in the academy, he drew attention on social media as clips of his footballing ability were posted by his family.
In the 2018âÂÂ19 season, Alves scored twenty-four goals, helping Real Madrid's 'Benjamin A' side to the title. Following his promotion to the 'AlevÃÂn A' side, he was part of the squad for the tournament in 2021.

Promoted to the 'Infantil A' side in the 2022âÂÂ23 season, Alves notably scored a twenty-minute hat-trick against rivals Atlético Madrid on 11 January 2023 as his side won 5âÂÂ2. In his first hundred games for the youth teams of Real Madrid, he scored 105 goals, earning praise from Spanish sports newspaper Marca for his goal-scoring ability, being labelled a "scoring machine".
Though both of his parents are Brazilian, he was born in Spain, making him eligible to represent both nations.

He made his debut for the side in the final game, featuring in a 2âÂÂ1 win against England.
