Career

Early career

Born in Fortaleza,[1] in the state of Ceará, Biel represented Brasília and Bahia before joining Fluminense's youth setup at the age of 12.[2] On 24 December 2020, after loans at ŠTK Šamorín and Santo Ângelo, he renewed his contract until December 2023.[3]

Fluminense

Biel made his first team debut for Flu on 4 March 2021, starting in a 1–2 Campeonato Carioca away loss against Resende.[4] Seven days later, he further extended his deal until 2024.[5]

Biel scored his first senior goal on 25 April 2021, netting his team's fourth in a 4–1 home success over Madureira.[6]

Loan to Grêmio

On 5 April 2022, Biel was announced at Grêmio on loan.[7] He was a regular starter in the club's 2022 Série B run, achieving promotion to the top tier, but left the club in November.[8]

Bahia

On 27 December 2022, Biel returned to Bahia on a six-year contract, now assigned to the first team.[9] He scored twice and provided one assist in his first three matches for the club,[10] but was never an undisputed starter during his two-year spell.

Sporting CP

On 3 February 2025, Biel moved abroad for the first time of his career after being announced at Portuguese side Sporting CP;[11] he signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with the club, for a rumoured fee of €8 million.[12]

Loan to Atlético Mineiro

On 25 July 2025, Biel joined Atlético Mineiro on a one-year loan deal with an obligatory buyout clause.[13] On 22 November, he came off the bench in extra time in the 2025 Copa Sudamericana final against Lanús; he missed two chances in the goalless draw and missed his penalty kick in the shoot-out, which Atlético Mineiro lost 5–4.[14]
