Guilherme made his Série A debut on 23 June 2012, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 home win against São Paulo.
Corinthians
On 14 August 2012, after being strongly linked to Palmeiras, Guilherme signed a five-year deal with Corinthians, for a R$7 million fee.[3] He made his debut late in the month, coming on as a late substitute for Paulo André in a 1–2 home loss against São Paulo.
Guilherme scored his first goal for Timão, netting his team's second in a 3–1 home win against Grêmio. After the departure of Paulinho to Tottenham Hotspur in 2013, he was elected as first-choice.
