On 16 September 2019, Carlos Eduardo moved to Internacional, [4] being initially a member of the under-20 team before being promoted to the main squad in January 2020. [5] He made his professional debut with Internacional in a 2–0 Campeonato Gaúcho win over Novo Hamburgo on 8 February 2020. [6] It was his only appearance with the first team, however, and he returned to the under-20s before leaving on 4 September 2021. [7]

On 1 October 2021, Carlos Eduardo moved abroad and joined Campeonato de Portugal side Louletano. [8] On 6 April 2023, after becoming a starter, he joined Japanese side Tochigi City in the regional leagues. [9]
