The Houston Dynamo announced the acquisition of Brazilian winger Guilherme on Tuesday.

The 30-year-old arrives from Brazilian Serie A side Santos FC for a reported $2.1 million transfer fee.

He will occupy a Designated Player spot and is signed through 2027-28 with an option for 2028-29.

Guilherme has tallied 95 goals and 44 assists in 492 appearances since 2016 across Brazil, with additional stops in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

"Guilherme is a proven leader and fierce competitor, with a history of success at some of the most storied clubs in South American football," Dynamo president of soccer Pat Onstad said. "Guilherme brings attacking quality and valuable experience -- in championship campaigns, promotion pushes and relegation battles -- that will strengthen our group as we build a team ready to compete for trophies in 2026 and beyond.

"We want to extend a warm welcome to Guilherme and his family and look forward to the impact he will have on and off the field in Houston."
