Guilherme Augusto Vieira dos Santos (born 13 April 1995), simply known as Guilherme, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Santos.
Career
Grêmio
Guilherme was born in São Paulo, and joined Grêmio's youth setup in May 2014, from Cotia, after a trial period.[1] In 2015, he moved on loan to São José-RS until the end of the year; after helping in their Copa Sul-Fronteira and Super Copa Gaúcha titles, his loan was extended for the 2016 Campeonato Gaúcho.[2]
Back to the Tricolor in May 2016, Guilherme made his first team – and Série A – debut on 29 June, coming on as a late substitute for Everton in a 3–2 home win over Santos.[3]
Loans
On 19 January 2017, Guilherme was loaned to fellow top tier side Botafogo until December.[4] Despite not being a regular starter, he became an ever-present figure during the year as his side finished 10th.[5]
On 4 January 2018, Guilherme moved to Chapecoense also in the first division, again on loan.[6] A regular starter in the Campeonato Catarinense, he lost his starting spot in the Série A, and moved to Série B side Coritiba on 13 August, also in a temporary deal.[7]
On 17 January 2019, still owned by Grêmio, Guilherme was presented at Sport Recife.[8] He was a key unit in the club's promotion to the top tier, scoring 17 goals and ending the tournament as top scorer.[1]
Al-Faisaly
On 8 January 2020, Guilherme moved abroad after being transferred to Saudi club Al-Faisaly.[9] An immediate starter, he scored his first goals for the club on 7 March, netting a brace in a 3–2 home win over Al Nassr.[10]
Guilherme also helped the club to win the 2020–21 King Cup, the club's first-ever major title.
Al-Dhafra
On 20 January 2022, Guilherme joined UAE Pro League side Al-Dhafra, joining compatriots Lucas Cândido and head coach Rogério Micale.[11] He scored five times in only 13 league appearances for the club, as they narrowly avoided relegation.
Grêmio return
On 5 July 2022, Guilherme returned to his first club Grêmio on a contract until December 2024.[12] He contributed with one goal in 18 appearances as the side returned to the first division at first attempt.
Loan to Fortaleza
On 9 February 2023, after losing space at Grêmio, Guilherme was loaned to Fortaleza in the top tier, until December.[13] He was the club's top goalscorer in their 2023 Copa Sudamericana run, as they lost the final to LDU Quito.
Santos
On 31 December 2023, Guilherme was announced at Santos in the second division, on a three-year deal.[14]
