On 10 December 2019, after finishing the year as a first-choice, Heitor renewed his contract with Inter until December 2022.[6] He scored his first senior goal on 8 February 2020, netting the opener in a 2–0 Campeonato Gaúcho home win over Novo Hamburgo,[7] but subsequently lost his starting spot during the campaign, after the arrivals of Renzo Saravia and Rodinei.
Heitor returned to starting spot in 2021, after Rodinei left and Saravia suffered a knee injury. On 10 March of that year, he was elected one of the 11 best under-20 players on South America for 2020 by IFFHS.[8]
On 18 January 2022, Heitor renewed his contract with Internacional for a further year.[9] On 22 June, despite losing his starting spot to Fabricio Bustos, he further extended his link for another six months.[10]
