In the youth sectors of São Paulo FC since 2017, Guilherme gained the attention of several clubs from 2022 onwards, when he signed his first professional contract with a termination clause of R$ 280 million.[1][2]

Fumaça was called up to the Brazil under-17 team for the first time in January 2023.[3] On 9 November 2023, he was called up again, this time for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup, following an injury of the player Luiz Gustavo.[4][5] He participated in three matches, against New Caledonia, England and Ecuador.
