Club career

Born in São Paulo, Caio represented Ceará before joining Avaí's youth categories in 2017. He made his senior debut on 8 March 2018, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–0 Campeonato Catarinense away loss against Hercílio Luz;[2] he only featured in one further match during the campaign, as his side achieved promotion to the Série A.

Promoted to the main squad ahead of the 2019 season, Caio made his top tier debut on 19 May of that year by starting in a 1–1 draw at Vasco da Gama.[3] On 8 January 2020, still owned by Tombense, he moved to Fluminense on loan until the end of the year.[4]

Caio scored his first professional goal on 14 October 2020, netting the opener in a 1–1 away draw against Atlético Mineiro.[5] He subsequently featured regularly for the side, and had his loan extended until the end of 2021 on 2 March of that year.[6]

On 9 September 2021, Caio signed a permanent five-year contract with Flu.[7]
