Born in
São Paulo, Vitinho joined
Palmeiras' youth setup in 2011. On 28 April 2016 he was promoted to the first team, signing a contract until 2021. Vitinho made his first team – and
Série A – debut on 21 June 2016, coming on as a
substitute for
Cleiton Xavier in a 2–0 home win against
América Mineiro. However, he appeared in only one more match for the side during the year, again from the bench. On 10 July 2017, after still being rarely used, Vitinho was loaned to
FC Barcelona for one year, being assigned to
the reserves in
Segunda División; the deal was made official the following day. ==Honours==
