Guilherme looks forward to MLS debut, says he still follows Santos | OneFootball

Guilherme is eagerly anticipating his debut for the Houston Dynamo in the United States. After his time with Santos, the forward is now fully integrated into the foreign team's preseason and is focused on preparing for the official start of Major League Soccer (MLS), which takes place on February 21.

Despite his extensive experience, the 30-year-old player admitted that the challenge in North America has unique characteristics.

“It's been a very good adaptation period. Everything is different, right? I've had other experiences outside Brazil, like in Arabia and the Emirates, but here it's different from anything I've encountered before. So the beginning is like this, a lot of work to speed up this adaptation and be ready for the debut on the 21st,” he stated.

“Playing in the United States, living here, being with my family experiencing this culture, is something I've always wanted, always aimed for in my career. Today I'm here fulfilling this goal and I'm very excited for the upcoming season. The team is getting to know each other, adapting to each other's playing style. I think it's going to be a very good year,” he added.

Love for Santos

Even while focused on adapting to Texas, Guilherme maintains an emotional bond with Santos. He assured that he continues to follow national football and cheer for the success of his former teammates.

“I still follow Santos, of course, I left friends there, I will always carry Santos in my heart with great affection, like other clubs I've been to, made friends, wrote a beautiful story, so I'm cheering from afar and always wanting the best for Santos,” he concluded.

Guilherme joined Peixe at the end of 2023 with the goal of helping the club return to Serie A. In total, he played 94 matches for the team and scored 27 goals. He was the champion of Serie B in 2024 and the top scorer of the Paulistão in 2025.

The Houston Dynamo kicks off the 2026 MLS season on February 21, against the Chicago Fire, at home.
