Born in São Luís, Maranhão, Balão started his career with local youth side São Luís FC in the end of 2018.[2] In July 2020, after failed trials at Vasco da Gama, Flamengo and Ferroviária, he moved to Moto Club.[3]
After impressing with the under-20s, Balão was promoted to the main squad of Moto in February 2021,[4] and made his senior debut on 2 May, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–1 Campeonato Maranhense away draw against Juventude Samas.[5] He featured in the following three matches of the tournament, earning his first start late in the month in the second leg of the Final against Sampaio Corrêa (1–3 home loss).[6]
In July 2021, Balão moved to Santos, initially assigned to the under-20 team.[7] On 31 January 2023, he was promoted to the first team for trainings, and renewed his contract until December 2025.[8]
