Club career
[edit]A youth product of Cruzeiro, Wallace caused great stir when football agent Jorge Mendes's Gestifute paid €9.5 million to sign him from Cruzeiro in early July 2014.[1] However, as his registration rights as a footballer must owned by a football club, Wallace was "signed" by S.C.

On 30 September 2020, Wallace joined Turkish Süper Lig club Yeni Malatyaspor.[8] On 26 January 2022, his contract with Yeni Malatyaspor was terminated by mutual consent.[9]
On 15 February 2022, Wallace joined Chinese Super League club Wuhan Three Towns.[10] Throughout the season he would be part of the squad that won the 2022 Chinese Super League title.[11]
