Early life

Gustavo was born in Registro. He spent time at Taboão da Serra and Criciúma before starting his career with the latter.

Club career

Criciúma

Born in Registro, São Paulo, Gustavo joined Taboão da Serra's youth setup in 2013.[1] On 29 January 2014, after being one of the top goalscorers of the year's Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, he signed for Criciúma.[2]

Gustavo made his senior debut on 16 February 2014, coming on as a second-half substitute for Ricardinho in a 2–1 Campeonato Catarinense home win against Chapecoense.[3] His Série A debut came on 9 August, starting in a 0–0 home draw against Cruzeiro.[4]

On 4 March 2015, after being rarely used, Gustavo was loaned to Resende, for three months.[5] On 13 August he joined Primeira Liga club Nacional, on loan for one year.[6]

Returning to Tigre in 2016, Gustavo became a starter and scored six goals during the season's Catarinense, with two braces against Camboriú and Chapecoense. In Série B, he made his debut by scoring the game's only in a home success over Náutico, and scored a further ten goals before being transferred.

Corinthians

On 23 August 2016, Gustavo moved to Corinthians, who bought 35% of the player's federative rights (Criciúma only owned 70%).[7] He was presented on 3 September, and made his debut for the club five days later by replacing Cristian in a 3–0 home win against Sport.[8]
