Born in Ribeirão Preto (SP), Bernardo began his journey with Peixe at nine years old. Since then, he has gone through all the club's youth categories.

In 2025, he was one of the standouts in winning the under-20 São Paulo State Championship, a competition in which he finished as Santos' top scorer and netted one of the goals in the final against São Paulo. In the most recent edition of the Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, Bernardo provided four assists in five matches.

During his development, the midfielder also got closer to the professional team. In 2024, under the command of Fábio Carille, he was integrated into the main squad's training sessions and registered for Série B, coming close to making his debut. However, an injury interrupted his run and postponed his first game as a professional.

With Juan Pablo Vojvoda, Bernardo did not receive opportunities in the first team, which paved the way for the loan to Amazonas, where he should get more minutes and experience in Série C. The player turns 21 on May 10.
