Gustavo Henrique

The centre-back arrived at Náutico in March 2026 without a single senior appearance to his name.

He came up through the Corinthians academy before moving to Red Bull Bragantino in 2023, at seventeen, in a deal that transferred half of his economic rights to the club. What followed were three years entirely in the youth setup, at under-20 and under-23 level, including two runs at the Copinha , in 2024 and 2026. He never featured for Bragantino's first team — not in Série A, not in the Copa do Brasil, not in the Paulistão.

Náutico agreed the loan in February and announced it on 17 March, running to the end of the 2026 season. The fee and any purchase option were not disclosed. He went straight into the starting eleven, frequently pairing at the back with Léo Índio .

By August he had seven league matches behind him and two yellow cards, with no goals or assists. That month he dislocated an ankle and missed several games.

His footedness is an open question. One player database lists him as left-footed; Globo Esporte reported him converting a penalty with his right. He wears number 46 at Náutico. He has won nothing yet — no titles, no individual awards.
