Gustavo Busatto (born 23 October 1990) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Bulgarian First League club CSKA Sofia.

He began his career with Grêmio, from whom he had loan spells with ASA and Icasa before joining América-RN permanently in 2015. Then he spent time with Atlético Goianiense, Aparecidense, Polish club Podbeskidzie Bielsko-Biała, Náutico, Sampaio Corrêa and Ituano.

Career

Busatto began his career in Grêmio's academy, where in 2010 he was promoted to the first team squad of the club to compete in Campeonato Gaúcho. However, he did not play any competitive match.

In 2011, he was loaned to ASA to play in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B, but also not played any match, returning to the Grêmio.

He made his debut for Grêmio in the 2013 Campeonato Gaúcho, in a 2–0 away win against Esportivo. However, he played only more six matches until 2014. In August of that same year, Busatto was loaned to Icasa until the end of the year to compete in the Série B. His contract with Grêmio also ends at the end of 2014.

Busatto joined Bulgarian club CSKA Sofia in June 2019. ^[1] He established himself as an undisputed starter for the team. In May 2024, Busatto controversially received a five-match ban following a sending off for dangerous foul play in a league match against Cherno More. ^[2]
