Club career

Born in Santos, São Paulo, Naves began his career with hometown side Santos, initially as a part of the futsal youth sides. He was released by the club in 2015, and spent a period at Portuguesa Santista before joining Palmeiras' youth setup in October 2017. [2]

On 4 July 2019, Naves signed his first professional contract with the club, until 2022. [3] He made his first team – and Série A – debut on 6 December 2021, starting in a 0–0 away draw against Athletico Paranaense, as most of the first team squad was already on vacation. [4]

On 9 May 2022, Naves renewed his contract with Verdão until 2025. [5]

In 2024, the defender played 15 games, 12 of them as a starter, including one in the Libertadores. [6]

On 20 July 2025, Naves was loaned by Alverca in Portugal. [7]
