Career
Born in Santos, São Paulo, Santana began his career with hometown side Santos FC, before joining EC São Bernardo in 2023.[1] He made his first team debut in that year's Copa Paulista, before moving to Cuiabá for the under-20 squad in July 2024.[2]
On 9 March 2025, Santana was loaned to São Paulo for their under-20 team.[3] In October, the club bought 80% of his economic rights,[4] but only started to feature in trainings of the first team squad in July 2026, during the 2026 FIFA World Cup break.[5]
Santana made his professional – and Série A – debut on 8 August 2026, coming on as a late substitute for Wendell in a 2–1 away loss to Grêmio.
