Early career

Born in Barra do Corda, Maranhão, Galeno joined Trindade Atlético Clube's youth setup in 2014.[1] He made his senior debut for the club on 10 February 2016, playing the last 29 minutes and scoring a brace in a 3–0 away defeat of Associação Atlética Anapolina for the Campeonato Goiano championship.[2]

Galeno scored his first goal abroad on 20 August 2016, netting the winner in a 2–1 away success over Leixões SC. The following 16 May, after scoring 11 goals for the B's, he was bought outright by the Dragons, signing a five-year deal with a €40 million release clause.[7]

Galeno made his first team – and Primeira Liga – debut for Porto on 21 October 2017, coming on as a late substitute for Moussa Marega in a 6–1 home routing of FC Paços de Ferreira. He appeared in two further matches for the main squad during the campaign.
