Early life

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]
