Born in Novo Hamburgo, Rio Grande do Sul, Guilherme joined Santos‘ youth setup in 2014, from lowly locals Ivoti/Globalfut.[1] On 5 November 2015, he signed a professional three-year contract with the club.[2]
On 3 February 2018, Guilherme was promoted to the first team by manager Jair Ventura.[3] He made his senior debut fifteen days later, coming on as a late substitute for Jonathan Copete in a 1–0 Campeonato Paulista away win against São Paulo.[4]
Guilherme made his Copa Libertadores debut on 15 March 2018, replacing fellow youth graduate Léo Cittadini in a 3–1 win against Nacional at the Pacaembu Stadium. On 2 May, he renewed his contract until May 2023.[5]
On 18 November 2018, Guilherme made his Série A debut, starting in a 2–1 loss at América Mineiro, only lasting nine minutes on the field and being replaced by Renato due to an injury.[6] He appeared in one further league match in the season, again being subbed off due to injury.
On 9 September 2019, Guilherme was loaned to Série B side Paraná until the end of the 2020 Campeonato Paranaense.[7] In November, after only two unused substitute appearances, his loan was cut short until the end of the year, and he subsequently returned to Peixe.[8]
On 27 February 2020, Guilherme joined Portuguesa on loan for the remainder of the Campeonato Paulista Série A2.[9] He scored his first senior goal on 7 September, netting his team’s second in a 3–2 away loss against XV de Piracicaba.
Upon returning, Guilherme was again only a backup option before moving on loan to Náutico in the second division on 22 June 2021.[10]
