Born in Sinop, Mato Grosso, [1] Igor joined Santos' youth setup in 2010, aged 12. [2] After progressing through the club's youth setup, he was called up to the main squad for a Copa do Brasil match against Santos-AP on 20 April 2016. [2]
Igor made his professional debut on 21 April 2016, coming on as a half-time substitute for fellow youth graduate Leandrinho in the 1–1 draw at the Zerão. [3] He featured in just one more match for the first team before leaving in August of the following year. [4]
In September 2017, Igor signed with Ituano until the end of 2019, being initially assigned to the under-20s to build match fitness. [5] A regular starter during the 2018 Campeonato Paulista, he scored his first senior goal on 17 January in a 3–1 home win against São Caetano.
On 27 March 2018, Igor was loaned to Ponte Preta until the end of the season. [6] He was an undisputed starter for Ponte during the year, contributing with 30 appearances as his side narrowly missed out promotion.
On 4 December 2018, Igor signed a one-year loan deal with São Paulo. [7] He made his debut for the club the following 3 February, starting in a 1–0 home win against São Bento.
Initially a first-choice, Igor lost space to Hudson, during the latter stages of the 2019 Campeonato Paulista. He made his Série A debut on 27 April 2019, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–0 home defeat of Botafogo.
