Club Career

Santos

Born in Santo Andre, Sao Paulo, Tailson joined Santos' youth setup at the age of nine; in 2014 he left to join Mauaense, but returned to the club in 2015. After appearing in the 2019 Copa Sao Paulo de Futebol Junior, he was called up to the first team by manager Jorge Sampaoli.

On 19 April 2019, Tailson left the club after his contract expired. On 5 August, however, after being linked to FC Barcelona, he signed a professional deal with the club.

Tailson made his first team – and Serie A – debut on 5 October 2019, starting and scoring the winner in a 1–0 away defeat of Vasco da Gama.

Coritiba (loan)

On 12 March 2021, Tailson joined recently relegated side Coritiba on loan for the 2021 campaign. He struggled to make an impact during his spell at the club, and was sent back to his parent club in July.

Nautico (loan)

On 9 August 2021, Tailson moved to Nautico also in the second division, on loan until December.
