São Paulo

Promoted to the first team for the 2019 season, Toró made his first team – and Série A – debut with Tricolor on 27 April 2019, coming on as a second-half substitute for Alexandre Pato in a 2–0 home win over Botafogo. Four days later, he was handed his first start and scored his team's second in a 2–1 away success over Goiás.

Return from loan Back to his parent club, Toró was included back in the first team of São Paulo by head coach Rogério Ceni in January 2022. He scored on his first match back at the club, a 3–0 win at Mirassol on 15 March, but only featured in a further five matches during that season.
