Released in 2014, he subsequently joined Palmeiras and finished his formation with the club in the following year[5][6] in strong standing, thanks to Marcos Valadares, who in February 2015, gave Vinícius the opportunity to play centre-forward. One month later, "he was scoring goals and was first choice for the U20s.”[7]

Carlos Vinícius moved to Caldense for the 2016 season, but spent the first year without playing. He made his senior debut on 19 March 2017, starting in a 2–0 away loss against Uberlândia for the Campeonato Mineiro.[8] At the club, he was mainly used as a defensive midfielder.

In May 2017, Carlos Vinícius joined Grêmio Anápolis for the second division of the Campeonato Goiano.[9] For the side, he only contributed with two appearances as a substitute, being utilized as an attacking midfielder, but was moved to the forward position for a friendly and scored two goals in that match; he then impressed some Portuguese scouts in the match, which prompted to a move to the country.[10]
