On 25 February 2021, Allanzinho made his first team – and Serie A – debut, coming on as a second-half substitute for Arthur Gomes in a 0–2 away loss against Bahia. He made his Copa Libertadores debut on 18 May, replacing Angelo in a 1–2 away loss against The Strongest.

On 9 June 2021, Allanzinho was loaned to Serie B side Guarani until the end of the year. He scored his first professional goal on 16 July, netting his team's fourth in a 4–1 away win against Confianca.
