Club career Palmeiras
Shakhtar Donetsk
Internacional Vitão was announced by Internacional on April 7, 2022, on a three-month loan from Shakhtar Donetsk, a move facilitated by FIFA's ruling allowing players from Ukrainian clubs to negotiate with other teams due to the Russo-Ukrainian War. Wearing the number 44 jersey, he made his debut for the 'Colorado' on April 26 in a 1–0 victory over Independiente during the third round of the Copa Sudamericana, playing 75 minutes before being replaced by Gabriel Mercado. His first goal for the club came shortly after in just his second appearance, scoring for Inter in a 1–1 draw against Juventude during the fifth round of the Campeonato Brasileiro on May 8.
In 2025, notwithstanding Internacional's poor run of form, Vitão established himself as a starter, making 52 appearances.
Flamengo On 9 January 2026, Vitão moved to fellow Série A club Flamengo, signing a four-year contract, for a fee reported to be around €10 million.
