Born in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo state, Ribeiro began his career in the youth team of hometown club Botafogo-SP before joining Atlético Mineiro. He made his professional debut on 26 September 2010 in a 2–1 win at Grêmio in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, the first match under new manager Dorival Júnior.{{cite news |title=Grêmio vence Atlético-MG na estreia de Dorival Júnior|trans-title=Grêmio defeat Atlético-MG on Dorival Júnior's debut|url=https://nominuto.com/noticias/esporte/gremio-vence-atletico-mg-na-estreia-de-dorival-junior/61083/ |accessdate=15 June 2020 |publisher=No Minuto |date=26 September 2010 |language=Portuguese}}
In June 2013, Ribeiro transferred to São Paulo FC on a five-year contract at the end of his deal with Atlético Mineiro.{{cite news |last1=Serbochini |first1=Gustavo |title=São Paulo apresenta lateral-esquerdo e novo reserva para Rogério Ceni|trans-title=São Paulo present left-back and new backup for Rogério Ceni |url=http://globoesporte.globo.com/futebol/times/sao-paulo/noticia/2013/06/sao-paulo-apresenta-renan-ribeiro-e-reinaldo.html |accessdate=15 June 2020 |publisher=Globo Esporte |date=3 June 2013 |language=Portuguese}} Signed as back-up to club icon Rogério Ceni, he did not debut until 9 April 2015, in a 3–0 home win over Portuguesa in the Campeonato Paulista.{{cite news |title=Com Ceni poupado, Renan Ribeiro estreia pelo São Paulo contra a Portuguesa|trans-title=With Ceni rested, Renan Ribeiro debuts for São Paulo against Portuguesa |url=http://www.espn.com.br/noticia/499032_com-ceni-poupado-renan-ribeiro-estreia-pelo-sao-paulo-contra-a-portuguesa |accessdate=15 June 2020 |publisher=ESPN |date=7 April 2015 |language=Portuguese}}{{cite news |title=Renan Ribeiro, o 90º goleiro na dinastia tricolor! |trans-title=Renan Ribeiro, the 90th goalkeeper in the Tricolor dynasty!|url=http://www.saopaulofc.net/noticias/noticias/numeros/2015/4/8/renan-ribeiro,-o-90o-goleiro-na-dinastia-tricolor! |accessdate=15 June 2020 |publisher=São Paulo FC |date=8 April 2015 |language=Portuguese}}

In August 2018, Ribeiro was loaned to Sporting CP in the same league, for a fee of €250,000 and the option to make the deal permanent.{{cite news |title=Guarda-redes Renan Ribeiro emprestado ao Sporting por uma época com opção de compra|trans-title=Goalkeeper Renan Ribeiro loaned to Sporting for a season with option to buy |url=https://www.dn.pt/lusa/guarda-redes-renan-ribeiro-emprestado-ao-sporting-por-uma-epoca-com-opcao-de-compra-9672140.html |accessdate=15 June 2020 |work=Diário de Notícias |date=2 August 2018 |language=Portuguese}} He made his debut for the team from Lisbon on 7 October as a half-time substitute for the injured Romain Salin in a 4–2 loss at Portimonense.{{cite news |title=Nakajima deixa o Sporting de olhos em bico.

Ribeiro surpassed Salin and Emiliano Viviano as the first-choice goalkeeper at the Estádio José Alvalade, and in January 2019 the club activated the €1 million permanent transfer clause, tying him to them until 2023.{{cite news |last1=Almeida |first1=Isaura |title=Sporting acionou a opção de compra de Renan há um mês|trans-title=Sporting activated Renan's buying option a month ago |url=https://www.dn.pt/desportos/sporting-acionou-a-opcao-de-compra-de-renan-ha-um-mes-10486989.html |accessdate=15 June 2020 |work=Diário de Notícias |date=25 January 2019 |language=Portuguese}} Also that month, he helped them win the Taça da Liga with penalty shootout victories over S.C. Braga (semi-final) and Porto (final); he saved three times against the former and once more from Hernâni in the latter to lift the trophy on his mother's birthday.{{cite news |last1=Fernandes |first1=Mariana |title=A semana de sonho do "Son Goku" Renan, que vai ficar em Alvalade até 2023 |trans-title=The dream week for "Son Goku" Renan, who will stay at the Alvalade until 2023|url=https://observador.pt/2019/01/27/a-semana-de-sonho-do-son-goku-renan-que-vai-ficar-em-alvalade-ate-2023/ |accessdate=15 June 2020 |work=Observador |date=27 January 2019 |language=Portuguese}}
