On 21 August 2014, without ever playing for Braga, he was loaned to AS Monaco, in a loan deal set by Jorge Mendes.[5]
On 29 July 2016, Serie A club Lazio announced that they had definitively purchased Wallace from Braga for €8 million.[1][6] He scored his first goal for the club on 20 November 2016 in a 3–1 home win over Genoa.[7]
