Club career

[edit]

Portuguesa

[edit]

Born in Santo André, São Paulo, Guilherme Torres joined Portuguesa's youth setup in 2002 at the age of 11. He made his professional debut on 11 August 2009, starting in a 1–2 Série B away loss against Duque de Caxias.[1] On 26 January 2011, Guilherme Torres scored his first professional goal, which came in a 1–3 home loss against Ponte Preta.[2] He was an undisputed starter during the year's Série B winning campaign. Guilherme Torres made his Série A debut on 23 June 2012, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 home win against São Paulo.

Corinthians

[edit]

On 14 August 2012, after being strongly linked to Palmeiras, Guilherme Torres signed a five-year deal with Corinthians, for a R$7 million fee.[3] He made his debut late in the month, coming on as a late substitute for Paulo André in a 1–2 home loss against São Paulo. Guilherme Torres scored his first goal for Timão, netting his team's second in a 3–1 home win against Grêmio.

Udinese

[edit]

On 7 July 2014, Guilherme Torres agreed a transfer to Serie A club Udinese,[4] signing a contract on 18 July.[5] He made his debut in the category on 31 August, starting in a 2–0 home win against Empoli. A regular starter during the 2014–15 season, Guilherme lost his space in 2015–16 after the arrival of countryman Edenílson.

Deportivo La Coruña

[edit]

On 16 July 2016, Guilherme Torres was loaned to La Liga club Deportivo de La Coruña for one year, with a buyout clause.[6] Backed by the coaches’ trust, he went on to enjoy a brilliant first season in La Liga, becoming a regular in the Deportivo roster and convincing the Spaniards to activate his Udinese release clause of €4.5 million at the end of the season.

After being a regular starter, Dépor activated Guilherme's buy clause on 15 June 2017 and he signed a permanent four-year contract with the club.[7]

Olympiacos

[edit]

On 17 August 2018, Guilherme Torres signed a three years contract with Super League club Olympiacos after completing a €3 million transfer fee. His contract, which ran until 2021, was worth €750,000 per year.[8] On 31 March 2019, he scored with a header his first goal for the championship from close range to convert Kostas Fortounis’s cross, in a 2–1 home win game against Atromitos.[9]

On 8 April 2019, Guilherme Torres scored with a header after Kostas Fortounis skipped past a Panetolikos defender before crossing for the Brazilian midfielder in a 5–0 away hammering win against Panetolikos.[10] A week later he scored a brace in a 4–0 home win game against Xanthi, the first coming in the 10th minute as the Brazilian headed in a Kostas Fortounis corner, and the second six minutes later as he side-footed home from Omar Elabdellaoui’s cross with a shell-shocked Xanthi struggling to contain the in-form home side.[11]

Al Sadd

[edit]

On 31 August 2020, Guilherme Torres joined Qatari club, Al Sadd for a transfer fee at the range of €6 million.[12]

International career
