Club career

Born in Santos, São Paulo, Naves began his career with hometown side Santos, initially as a part of the futsal youth sides. He was released by the club in 2015, and spent a period at Portuguesa Santista before joining Palmeiras' youth setup in October 2017.[3]

On 9 May 2022, Naves renewed his contract with Verdão until 2025.[6]

In 2024, the defender played 15 games, 12 of them as a starter, including one in the Libertadores.[7]
