A product of Coritiba’s youth academy, Gustavo Silva also had spells at Vila Nova, Oeste, and Paraná before joining Corinthians at the end of 2018. After a period out on loan, he returned to Parque São Jorge in 2020 and became a permanent member of the first-team squad.

Wearing the black-and-white shirt, the forward made 177 appearances, scored 18 goals, and added 12 assists, totaling 30 direct goal contributions. During his time there, he won the 2019 Campeonato Paulista and established himself among the players with the most appearances for the club in the 21st century, in addition to ranking among the top scorers in the history of Neo Química Arena.

His departure from Corinthians came in 2024. At the time, Gustavo Silva terminated his contract through the courts due to delays in the payment of labor rights. His last match for the club was a 2-0 defeat to Palmeiras in that year’s Brazilian Championship.

After leaving Timão, the forward signed with Vitória, where he was part of the campaign that secured the team’s place in the top flight of the Brazilian Championship and qualification for the Copa Sudamericana. He then moved to Japanese football.
