Arílson began playing football in the Bento Gonçalves' youth system, and became a professional with Grêmio. He moved to Germany to play for 1. FC Kaiserslautern, but wanted to return to Brazil shortly after his move. Arílson initially tried to re-join Grêmio, but the club would not meet Kaiserslautern's asking price. Instead, he transferred to Grêmio's arch-rivals Internacional.[2]
