Career
Guarani
Born in São Paulo, Bidu joined Guarani's youth setup in 2018, after representing Portuguesa and Lemense.[1] On 17 January 2019, after impressing with the under-20s in the year's Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, he renewed his contract with the club for three years.[2]
Bidu made his professional debut on 21 September 2019, starting in a 1–0 Série B home win against Paraná.[3] He contributed with four league appearances during the campaign, as his side avoided relegation.
Bidu scored his first senior goal on 2 February 2020, netting a last-minute winner in a 2–1 home defeat of Santo André for the Campeonato Paulista championship.[4] He subsequently became an undisputed starter for the club.
Cruzeiro (loan)
On 25 January 2022, Bidu was loaned to fellow second division Cruzeiro until the end of the year.[5] Despite being regularly used in the club's 2022 Série B winning campaign, Bidu was not bought outright.[6] On 16 December of that year, he extended his contract with Guarani until 2024.[7]
Corinthians
On 28 December 2022, Bidu was announced at Corinthians on a three-year contract.[8] Initially a backup to Fábio Santos during the 2023 Campeonato Paulista, he made his Série A debut on 16 April of that year, starting in a 2–1 home win over former side Cruzeiro.
Bidu was not registered by Corinthians in the 2024 Campeonato Paulista, only returning to action with the side after the arrival of new head coach António Oliveira.[9]
