Gustavo Nonato Santana (born 3 March 1998), commonly known as Nonato, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Santos.

Career[edit]

São Caetano[edit]

Born São Paulo, Nonato joined São Caetano's youth setup in 2014, from Corinthians.[1] He made his first team debut on 30 March 2016, starting and providing an assist to both goals in a 2–0 Campeonato Paulista Série A2 away win over Monte Azul.[2]

Nonato subsequently alternated between the under-20 and first team squads, winning the 2017 Paulistão A2 with the club.

Internacional[edit]

On 23 May 2018, Nonato was loaned to Série A side Internacional for one year, and was initially assigned to the under-20 team.[3] On 9 February of the following year, his loan was extended until the end of 2019,[4] and he made his first team debut eight days later, starting in a 2–1 Campeonato Gaúcho home win over Caxias.[5]

Nonato made his top tier debut with Inter on 27 April 2019, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–0 away loss against Chapecoense. He scored his first senior goal on 12 May, netting the opener in a 3–1 home win over Cruzeiro.[6]

On 23 September 2019, Inter announced the permanent transfer of Nonato, with the player signing a contract until December 2023.[7] A regular starter under Odair Hellmann, he lost his starting spot under Eduardo Coudet,[8] and despite being utilized by subsequent head coaches Abel Braga and Miguel Ángel Ramírez, he featured very rarely after the arrival of Diego Aguirre.[9]

Loan to Fluminense[edit]

On 30 July 2021, Nonato was loaned to fellow top tier side Fluminense until December 2022.[10] He made his debut for the club on 23 August, replacing Martinelli in a 1–1 home draw against Atlético Mineiro.[11]

On 1 September 2022, Fluminense announced Nonato's departure from the club, after the player was close to a deal with a Bulgarian club.[12]

Ludogorets[edit]

On 2 September 2022, Nonato signed with Bulgarian champions Ludogorets Razgrad.[13] On 8 September 2022, he made his official debut for the Razgrad team, coming on as a second half substitute and scoring a late winning goal in the 2–1 home victory over Roma in a UEFA Europa League match.[14]

Santos[edit]

On 4 August 2023, Nonato was announced at Santos back in his home country, on loan until July 2024.[15] He made his debut for the club sixteen days later, replacing Rodrigo Fernández late into a 2–1 home win over Grêmio.

Nonato scored his first goal for Peixe on 1 November 2023, netting the equalizer in a 2–1 away win over Flamengo. On 25 January 2024, he signed a permanent three-year contract with the club.[16]
