Born in Serrana, São Paulo, Lodi joined Athletico Paranaense's youth setup in 2012. He made his first team – and Série A – debut on 14 October 2016, starting in a 1–0 away loss against Grêmio.[3]

Lodi subsequently represented the under-23 in the Campeonato Paranaense, and scored his first senior goal on 25 March 2018, netting the opener in a 5–0 home routing of Maringá.[4] Three days later, he extended his contract until March 2021.[5]

Lodi became a regular starter under new manager Tiago Nunes, and renewed his contract until 2022 on 10 August 2018.[6]
