Club career[]

Early career[]

Born in Governador Valadares, Minas Gerais, Venuto joined Cruzeiro's youth setup in 2007, aged 12. Released at the age of 16, he subsequently joined Red Bull Brasil.[1]

Venuto made his senior debut on 29 February 2012, coming on as a second-half substitute for Aleílson in a 1–0 Campeonato Paulista Série A2 home loss against América-SP.[2] Despite being his only appearance of the campaign, he was promoted to the senior squad in November.[3]

Red Bull Salzburg / Grödig[]

In January 2014, Venuto moved abroad and joined RB Leipzig's under-19 side. In July, however, he joined FC Red Bull Salzburg and was assigned to the reserve team, FC Liefering.[4] He made his debut abroad on 18 July, starting in a 3–0 away defeat of TSV Hartberg for the Austrian Football Second League championship.[citation needed]

Venuto scored his first senior goal on 29 August 2014, netting his team's third in a 4–1 home routing of SV Horn. The following 31 January, after scoring five goals, he was loaned to Austrian Football Bundesliga side SV Grödig for the remainder of the campaign.[5] In June, he signed a permanent contract with the latter side.[6]

Austria Wien[]

On 8 January 2016, after scoring seven goals during the campaign, Venuto signed a contract with FK Austria Wien until 2019.[7] He made his debut for the new club on 6 February, starting in a 1–0 away success over former side Grödig.

Venuto scored his first goal for Austria Wien on 23 April 2016, scoring the seventh in a 9–0 away routing of SV Mattersburg.[8] On 31 July, he scored a brace in a 3–1 home win against the same opponent.

Vancouver Whitecaps[]

On 25 January 2019, Venuto was transferred to Major League Soccer side Vancouver Whitecaps FC, agreeing to a three-year contract.[9] He made his debut in the MLS on 2 March, playing the last 21 minutes in a 3–2 home loss against Minnesota United FC.[citation needed]

Venuto scored his first goal for the Caps on 4 May 2019, netting his team's second in a 3–2 away win against Colorado Rapids.[citation needed] On 1 August, Venuto terminated his contract with the club, after three league goals in 22 appearances.[10]

Santos[]

On 6 August 2019, Venuto returned to his home country after agreeing to a three-and-a-half-year contract with Santos.[11] He made his debut for the club on 8 September, replacing Jean Mota in a 1–1 home draw against Athletico Paranaense.[citation needed]

Sport Recife (loan)[]

On 6 August 2020, after being rarely used, Venuto was loaned to fellow top tier side Sport Recife until the end of the season.[12]
