Career

Novorizontino

Born in Taboão da Serra, São Paulo, Luisão joined Novorizontino's youth sides in 2021, after representing Audax and São Paulo.^[1]^[2]

Loan to Catanduva

In July 2021, without activities in the youth categories due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Luisão moved to Catanduva on loan for the year's Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divisão.^[3] He made his senior debut on 29 August 2021, coming on as a late substitute in a 1–0 home win over América-SP, and featured in further seven matches for the club, before returning to Novorizontino and their under-20 team for the 2022 season.

Breakthrough

Luisão made his first team debut with Tigre on 18 January 2023, starting in a 2–1 Campeonato Paulista Série A2 home win over Monte Azul. He later made his Série B debut on 30 April, replacing Ligger late into a 0–0 home draw against Sport Recife,^[4] but would feature mainly for the under-20 team during that year.

After playing in the 2024 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, Luisão was definitely promoted to the main squad and later became a starter in the 2024 Campeonato Paulista. He renewed his contract until 2027 in April 2024, and established himself in the starting eleven afterwards.^[5]

Luisão scored his first senior goal on 4 May 2024, netting his team's second in a 3–1 away win over Ituano.^[6]

Santos

On 11 January 2025, Santos announced the signing of Luisão on a four-year contract.^[7]
