Born in Salvador, Bahia, Blanco joined Esporte Clube Bahia aged 16 and was promoted to the senior team in early 2015. He made 13 appearances in the Série B during his first professional season.
On 23 December 2016, Blanco was loaned to América Mineiro on a season-long deal.[1] However, his performances in the 2017 Campeonato Mineiro campaign caught the eye of rivals Atlético Mineiro, who signed him on 3 July 2017 on a loan deal that included a buyout clause.[2] He spent his first season at Atlético as a substitute, totaling eight appearances in all competitions.
Blanco made his first team breakthrough at the start of the 2018 Série A season, drawing praise from fans and critics for his passing and defensive qualities, as well as for his high work rate on the pitch.[3][4] On 21 May 2018, Atlético acquired him permanently on a four-year deal.[5] On 2 July 2018, he suffered an ACL injury in his left knee which sidelined him for 22 months.[6] He returned to training in May 2020,[7] and in October joined Goiás on loan for the remainder of the 2020 Série A season.[8] He made his first appearance in over two years on 14 November, in a 1–0 league defeat to Athletico Paranaense.[9]
On 15 March 2021, Blanco joined Fortaleza on loan for the remainder of the season.[10]
