Club career

Chapecoense

Born in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Locatelli joined Chapecoense's youth setup in 2015, aged 16.[1] Promoted to the main squad for the 2019 campaign, he made his senior debut on 24 February of that year, coming on as a half-time substitute for Alan Ruschel in a 0–2 Campeonato Catarinense away loss against Marcílio Dias.[2]

Locatelli scored his first goal as a professional on 31 March 2019, netting his team's second in a 2–0 home win against Brusque.[3] He made his Série A debut on 14 September by replacing Elicarlos in a 1–2 home loss against Vasco da Gama,[4] and scored his first goal in the category on 8 December in a 1–1 away draw against the same opponent.[5]

On 11 March 2020, Locatelli renewed his contract with Chape until the end of 2022.[6] During that campaign, he also helped the club to win the Catarinense and the Série B.

Ferroviária
