In 2019, he was scouted by Volta Redonda and finished his development with their under-20s.[2] On 27 January 2020, he signed his first professional contract with Volta Redonda until 2023.[3]

Playing style

Pereira is an ambidextrous centre-back who is a great tackler in 1v1 situations and when recovering from deep. He is an excellent passer who can eliminate pressure, and can also play long-diagonals to start up offensive play. He opts for risky maneuvers sometimes instead of making the most conventional decisions.[7]
