Club career
Botafogo
Born in Campinas, São Paulo, Gabriel joined Paulínia's youth setup in 2006, aged 14, and being known as Biel. On 30 January 2011, he made his senior debut, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 3–0 home win against Juventus for the Campeonato Paulista Série A3 championship.[1]
In the 2011 summer Gabriel moved to Botafogo, returning to youth football, but being promoted to the main squad in the following year by manager Oswaldo de Oliveira. He made his first team – and Série A – debut on 20 May 2012, replacing Vitor Júnior in a 4–2 home win against São Paulo.[2]
Gabriel renewed his link with Bota on 26 September, signing until 2015.[3] He scored his first professional goal on 27 October, netting the third in a 4–0 home routing over Atlético Goianiense.[4]
On 18 March 2013 Botafogo bought the remaining 30% of Gabriel's rights belonging to Paulínia,[5] with the player being an undisputed starter. On 15 December 2014, he rescinded his contract due to unpaid wages,[6] after his side suffered relegation.
Palmeiras
On 30 December 2014 Gabriel signed a two-year loan deal with Palmeiras, with his rights being assigned to Monte Azul,[7] and subsequently reuniting with his former Botafogo manager Oswaldo de Oliveira.
