Club career
Born in Belém, Pará, Mendes joined Santos' youth setup in 2016, from Inter de Limeira. On 18 August 2017, he signed his first professional contract until 2022,[1] but was loaned to Atlético Mineiro in 2018, after appearing rarely.[2]
In December 2019, Galo activated the R$ 400,000 buyout clause on his contract, and Mendes signed a permanent contract with the club.[3] The following 4 February, however, he joined Guarani on loan,[4] but returned to his parent club in May after making no appearances.[5]
On 20 July 2020, Mendes was loaned to Série C side Boa Esporte until May 2021.[6] He made his senior debut six days later, coming on as a second-half substitute for Wesley in a 1–0 Campeonato Mineiro away win against Patrocinense.
On 21 October 2020, Mendes joined Figueirense on loan for the remainder of the 2020 Série B season.[7] The following 8 February, he moved to Juventude, recently promoted to the Série A, also in a temporary deal.[8]
