Born in São Paulo, Gabriel Barros joined Ituano's youth setup in 2018 for the under-17 squad, after representing Red Bull Brasil and Osasco.[1] He made his first team debut on 22 February 2020, coming on as a late substitute for Yago in a 2–0 Campeonato Paulista home win over Santos.[2]

On 2 December 2021, after four first team appearances, Gabriel Barros returned to Ituano after Flamengo opted to not exercise his buyout clause.[7]
