He spent most of his career in Portugal, playing over 100 Primeira Liga games in two spells at Porto and for Braga, as well as loans at Portimonense and Rio Ave. Early career Born in Barra do Corda, Maranhão, Galeno joined Trindade's youth setup in 2014. He made his senior debut for the club on 10 February 2016, playing the last 29 minutes and scoring a brace in a 3–0 away defeat of Atlética Anapolina for the Campeonato Goiano championship. Galeno finished the 2016 Campeonato Goiano with five goals in ten appearances, being named the Best Newcomer of the competition. In April 2016, he signed a contract with Grêmio Anápolis. Porto On 28 June 2016, Galeno moved abroad and joined Porto on a one-year loan deal, being initially assigned to the B-team in Segunda Liga.

Galeno scored his first goal abroad on 20 August 2016, netting the winner in a 2–1 away success over neighbours Leixões.

Galeno made his first team – and Primeira Liga – debut for Porto on 21 October 2017, coming on as a late substitute for Moussa Marega in a 6–1 home routing of Paços de Ferreira. Three days later he made his first start in the group stage of the Taça da Liga, a goalless draw with Leixões also at the Estádio do Dragão.

His first goal in the top flight came on 26 August, opening a 1–1 draw at Tondela on the third matchday. Braga On 6 August 2019, Galeno joined Braga on a five-year deal. The transfer fee was €3.5 million to be paid in instalments, plus value-added tax to take the fee to €4.3 million; the buyout clause of €15 million meant that Porto retained 50% of his economic rights. Galeno scored his first goal in the third game of the league season, opening the score after six minutes in a 1–1 draw at Gil Vicente on 25 August 2019. On 3 November, he scored twice in as many minutes in a home game against neighbours Famalicão in a 2–2 draw.

Galeno scored six goals in as many Europa League group games for Braga in 2021–22; this included two on 30 September in a 3–1 home win over Denmark's Midtjylland. In his final game on 22 January 2022, he scored a penalty to equalise in a 2–1 win at reigning champions Sporting.
