Born in Piracicaba, São Paulo, Gustavo only joined a youth setup in 2019 with Rio Claro, at the age of 19. He was subsequently invited to join the under-20 side of Marília, where he impressed and was promoted to the main squad for the 2020 season.

On 17 September 2021, after impressing with the under-23 side, Gustavo signed a permanent three-year contract with the Dourado. He made his top flight debut three days later, replacing Rafael Elias in a 2–2 home draw against Fluminense.

On 14 January 2023, Nescau announcement officially signing transfer to J1 promoted club, Albirex Niigata for ahead of 2023 season.
