Early career
Born in Fortaleza,[1] in the state of Ceará, Biel represented Brasília and Bahia before joining Fluminense's youth setup at the age of 12.[2] On 24 December 2020, after loans at ŠTK Šamorín and Santo Ângelo, he renewed his contract until December 2023.[3]
Fluminense
Biel made his first team debut for Flu on 4 March 2021, starting in a 1–2 Campeonato Carioca away loss against Resende.[4] Seven days later, he further extended his deal until 2024.[5]
Biel scored his first senior goal on 25 April 2021, netting his team's fourth in a 4–1 home success over Madureira.[6]
Loan to Grêmio
