On 31 October 2012, Diogo agreed to a contract with Guarani, after having his federative rights assigned to Coimbra.[5] The following 2 June, he moved to Coritiba.[6]

On 14 July 2014, Diogo was loaned to Atlético Goianiense until the end of the year.[7] On 8 January of the following year, he joined Goiás.[8]

On 29 December 2015, Diogo agreed to a one-year deal with Botafogo.[9] He scored his first goal in the first division on 16 July 2016, netting his team's first in a 3–3 home draw against Flamengo.

On 14 December 2016, after failing to agree new terms, Diogo signed a three-year contract with Cruzeiro.[10]

On 14 November 2017, the sale of Diogo Barbosa to Palmeiras was settled for R$17.000.000.[11]

On 11 September 2020, he was announced as a Grêmio player, signing a contract until 2023.[12]
