Club career

Early career

Born in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Augusto joined São Paulo's youth setup in 2013. On 24 February 2017, as his contract was due to expire in March, he was sold to Real Madrid for a rumoured fee of €3 million.[1][2] Prior to the transfer, he was separated from the under-17 squad after rejecting an offer of a professional contract.[3]

Castilla

After spending his first season in the Juvenil A squad, Augusto was promoted to Santiago Solari's reserves in Segunda División B for the 2018–19 campaign.[4] He made his senior debut on 29 September 2018, coming on as a late substitute for Jaime Seoane in a 3–1 home win against CDA Navalcarnero.[5]

Augusto contributed with 19 league appearances in his first senior season, being mainly used as a substitute as Castilla missed out promotion in the play-offs.

Loan to Cultural Leonesa

On 18 July 2019, Augusto joined fellow third division side Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa on loan for one year.[6] He scored his first senior goal on 19 December, netting his team's second in a 3–0 home success over Las Rozas CF, for the season's Copa del Rey.[7]

In February 2020, Augusto suffered a shoulder injury which kept him out for three months.[8] He featured in ten matches for the side, as the season was curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Loan to Las Rozas

On 2 October 2020, Augusto moved to Las Rozas also in the third tier, on loan for one year.[9] While at the club, he featured more regularly, and notably scored in a 3–4 home loss against La Liga side SD Eibar also for the national cup.[10]

Loan to Santos

On 16 August 2021, Augusto returned to Brazil and agreed to a one-year loan deal with Santos.[11]
