He started his career at Paraguayan club Cerro Porteño before eventually moving to Bayern Munich . He was elected Paraguayan Footballer of the Year in 2005 by Paraguayan newspaper Diario ABC Color.

Dos Santos plays in midfield, the hole-position behind striker and sometimes even as striker.

He is largely deemed as a long-term successor to Michael Ballack at Bayern Munich although he faces stiff competition from Iranian sensation Ali Karimi.
