Gustavo Vilar dos Santos (born 18 April 2000), known as Gustavo Vilar or just Vilar, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a central defender for Maringá.
Born in Guarujá, São Paulo, Vilar played amateur tournaments in his hometown before joining Santos in September 2019, after a trial period. He signed a three-month contract with the club in December, being initially assigned to the under-20 team.[1]
On 22 March 2020, Vilar left Peixe as his contract expired,[2] and signed for Maringá on 8 September.[3] He helped the club to achieve promotion from the Campeonato Paranaense Série Prata in that year, and became a regular starter afterwards.
On 27 August 2021, Vilar moved on loan to São Bernardo for the Copa Paulista,[4] but did not play. He returned to his parent club on 6 December,[5] and was again a starter as they reached the 2022 Campeonato Paranaense finals.
On 12 April 2022, Vilar was loaned to Série B side Londrina, with a buyout clause.[6] On 2 August, after already establishing himself as a first-choice, he signed a permanent deal until 2025, after the club bought 50% of his economic rights.[7]
On 13 January 2023, Vilar returned to Maringá on a four-year contract.[8] On 19 April, he and teammates Marcos Vinícius and Matheus Bianqui were loaned to Série A side Coritiba until the end of the year.[9]
