Born in Brasília, Brazil, Maia joined São Paulo's youth setup at age 14. He played a total of 103 matches for São Paulo as he progressed through the age groups and in 2018 with the Under-17 side, he notched 30 goals in 36 games.[2] In March 2020, Maia was included in the first team squad for a Campeonato Paulista match against Botafogo. He was an unused substitute in a 1–0 away loss.
On 6 August 2020, La Liga club FC Barcelona announced the signing of Maia for a fee of €4.5 million with a buyout clause of €300 million, and he was assigned to the reserves in the third division.[3][4] He made his debut for Barça B in the opening matchday fixture against Gimnàstic de Tarragona on 18 October. He replaced Matheus Pereira in a 1–0 home victory.[5]
On 30 August 2021, Maia joined Série A club Internacional on loan until 31 December 2022, following a disappointing season with Barcelona.[6] Maia scored his first goal on 24 October, a last minute equalizer in a 2–2 draw against Corinthians.[7]
