In 2017, after a period with José Bonifácio, Madruga joined the youth sides of Desportivo Brasil.{{cite web|url=https://trivela.com.br/brasil/serie-b/guilherme-madruga-premio-puskas-2023/|title=Guilherme Madruga: Do interior do Mato Grosso do Sul, ao Prêmio Puskas de gol mais bonito em 2023|trans-title=Guilherme Madruga: From the countryside of Mato Grosso do Sul, to the Puskás Award of most beautiful goal in 2023|publisher=Trivela|language=pt-BR|date=22 September 2023|accessdate=13 December 2023}} He made his senior debut with the latter side on 23 February 2019, starting in a 6–1 Campeonato Paulista Série A3 home routing of Rio Preto.
