Guilherme Augusto Vieira dos Santos (born 13 April 1995), simply known as Guilherme, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Santos.
Career[edit]
Grêmio[edit]
Guilherme was born in São Paulo, and joined Grêmio's youth setup in May 2014, from Cotia, after a trial period.[1] In 2015, he moved on loan to São José-RS until the end of the year; after helping in their Copa Sul-Fronteira and Super Copa Gaúcha titles, his loan was extended for the 2016 Campeonato Gaúcho.[2]
Back to the Tricolor in May 2016, Guilherme made his first team – and Série A – debut on 29 June, coming on as a late substitute for Everton in a 3–2 home win over Santos.[3]
Loans[edit]
On 19 January 2017, Guilherme was loaned to fellow top tier side Botafogo until December.[4] Despite not being a regular starter, he became an ever-present figure during the year as his side finished 10th.[5]
On 4 January 2018, Guilherme moved to Chapecoense also in the first division, again on loan.[6] A regular starter in the Campeonato Catarinense, he lost his starting spot in the Série A, and moved to Série B side Coritiba on 13 August, also in a temporary deal.[7]
On 17 January 2019, still owned by Grêmio, Guilherme was presented at Sport Recife.[8] He was a key unit in the club's promotion to the top tier, scoring 17 goals and ending the tournament as top scorer.[1]
Al-Faisaly[edit]
On 8 January 2020, Guilherme moved abroad after being transferred to Saudi club Al-Faisaly.[9] An immediate starter, he scored his first goals for the club on 7 March, netting a brace in a 3–2 home win over Al Nassr.[10]
Guilherme also helped the club to win the 2020–21 King Cup, the club's first-ever major title.
Al-Dhafra[edit]
On 20 January 2022, Guilherme joined UAE Pro League side Al-Dhafra, joining compatriots Lucas Cândido and head coach Rogério Micale.[11] He scored five times in only 13 league appearances for the club, as they narrowly avoided relegation.
Grêmio return[edit]
On 5 July 2022, Guilherme returned to his first club Grêmio on a contract until December 2024.[12] He contributed with one goal in 18 appearances as the side returned to the first division at first attempt.
Loan to Fortaleza[edit]

On 9 February 2023, after losing space at Grêmio, Guilherme was loaned to Fortaleza in the top tier, until December.[13] He was the club's top goalscorer in their 2023 Copa Sudamericana run, as they lost the final to LDU Quito.
Santos[edit]
On 31 December 2023, Guilherme was announced at Santos in the second division, on a three-year deal.[14] He made his debut for the club the following 20 January, starting in a 1–0 away win over Botafogo-SP.[15]
Guilherme scored his first goals for Peixe on 4 February 2024, netting a brace in a 2–0 home win over Guarani.[16]
