Club career

[edit]

Born in Rio Branco, State of Acre, Kaká arrived at the youth setup of Santos in June 2014. Progressing through the youth ranks, he went on to captain the under-20 side in their Campeonato Paulista under-20 triumph in 2018.[3]

Promoted to the first team in March 2018,[4] Cacá made his professional – and Série A debut on 14 October, playing the whole 90 minutes of a 2–0 away defeat against Vasco da Gama.[5] Three days later, he was an unused substitute in the second leg of the Copa do Brasil Finals, with his side defeating Corinthians by 2–1.[6]

Initially a backup to Dedé and Léo during the 2019 Campeonato Paulista, Cacá started to feature more regularly during the league. He scored his first senior goal on 31 October of that year, netting the opener in a 2–0 away success over Sport Recife,[7] and finished the CBF campaign with 20 league appearances as his side suffered a first-ever relegation.

On 6 January 2020, Cacá renewed his contract with Cruzeiro until December 2022.[8]

On February 14, 2021, Cacá signed with J1 League side Tokushima Vortis.[9]

On 21 July 2023, Cacá moved on loan to Athletico Paranaense.[10]

On 7 March 2024, Cacá was loaned to Corinthians until the end of the season with an option to buy.[11]
