Club career

edit

Born in Santa Fé do Sul, São Paulo,[1] Gabriel Tota represented Araçatuba, América-SP, Andradina Esporte Clube [pt] and Novorizontino as a youth. He made his senior debut while on loan at Rio Preto in 2020.[1]

In 2021, Gabriel Tota moved to Mirassol and returned to the under-20 squad.[2] He first appeared with the main squad on 25 September of that year, starting in a 1–2 Série C home loss against former side Novorizontino.[3]

On 22 January 2022, after impressing in the year's Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, Gabriel Tota was one of the nine players definitely promoted to Mirassol's first team,[4] but moved to Série A side Juventude five days later, on a four-year contract.[5]

Gabriel Tota made his debut for Ju on 3 February 2022, coming on as a second-half substitute for Jadson and scoring the opener in a 1–1 Campeonato Gaúcho home draw against Novo Hamburgo.[6] He first appeared in the top tier on 21 May, replacing Rodrigo Soares in a 3–0 home loss against Palmeiras.

Loaned to Ypiranga-RS on 14 April 2023, Gabriel Tota played twice for the club before having his loan terminated on 14 May, after being included in the 2023 Brazilian football match-fixing scandal. Three days later, Juventude terminated his contract.[7]

On 1 June 2023, Gabriel Tota was permanently banned from football after being judged in the match-fixing scandal, and was charged a R$ 30,000 fine.[8]
