Club career
Born in Cotia in Greater São Paulo, Wander joined the academy of São Paulo at the age of thirteen.{{cite web|url=https://www.lance.com.br/sao-paulo/talles-wander-projeta-ano-do-sub-20-e-mira-time-profissional-do-sao-paulo.html|title=Talles Wander projeta ano do sub-20 e mira time profissional do São Paulo|trans-title=Talles Wander projects the under-20 year and targets São Paulo’s professional team|date=11 March 2022|access-date=2 November 2023|website=lance.com.br|language=pt}} He had signed a five-year contract with the club in 2019, but as he was under-age, this deal was not recognised by international governing body FIFA, who only allow a maximum of three-year deals for minors, meaning that for the last two seasons of his deal, he could move to any foreign club on a free transfer.{{cite web|url=https://www.uol.com.br/esporte/ultimas-noticias/enm/2023/01/08/um-dos-destaques-do-sao-paulo-na-copinha-talles-wander-tem-contrato-irregular-e-pode-assinar-com-qualquer-time-do-exterior.htm|title=Um dos destaques do São Paulo na Copinha, Talles Wander tem contrato irregular e pode assinar com qualquer time do exterior|trans-title= One of São Paulo's highlights in Copinha, Talles Wander has an irregular contract and can sign with any team abroad|date=8 January 2023|access-date=2 November 2023|website=uol.com.br|language=pt}}
With first team striker Jonathan Calleri linked with a move away from the club in early 2023, Wander was seen as a potential successor to his role in the side, due to his impressive performances in the Copinha.{{cite web|url=https://www.gazetaesportiva.com/times/sao-paulo/precisando-de-9-sao-paulo-analisa-talles-wander-contrato-do-atleta-e-obstaculo/|title=Precisando de "9", São Paulo analisa Talles Wander; contrato do atleta é obstáculo|trans-title=Needing a “9”, São Paulo analyzes Talles Wander; athlete's contract is an obstacle|date=24 January 2023|access-date=2 November 2023|website=gazetaesportiva.com|language=pt}} Manager Rogério Ceni had previously stated that Wander would not be promoted to the first team without signing a contract, and he did so in March of the same year, penning a three-year deal.{{cite web|url=https://ge.globo.com/futebol/times/sao-paulo/noticia/2023/03/10/sao-paulo-renova-contrato-de-artilheiro-da-copinha-e-evita-novo-problema-com-regra-da-fifa.ghtml|title=São Paulo renova contrato de artilheiro da Copinha e evita novo problema com regra da Fifa|trans-title=São Paulo renews contract for Copinha top scorer and avoids new problem with FIFA rule|date=10 March 2023|access-date=2 November 2023|website=ge.globo.com|language=pt}}
