Gustavo dos Santos Silva Medina (born 9 July 2001), known as Gustavo Medina or just Medina,[1][2] is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a centre-back for Ferroviária.
Career
Born in Rio Branco, Acre, Medina began his career in a Meninos da Vila youth school in Cuiabá, and later played for a project in Santos called Projeto Pagão and Avaí before joining the youth sides of Ferroviária in late 2016.[3] On 31 January 2020, he was loaned to Spanish side Real Valladolid for six months, with a buyout clause set on R$ 1 million.[4]
On 6 August 2020, Medina joined Cruzeiro also on loan,[5] but was sent back to his parent club in November, after a "serious indiscipline problem".[6] He then made his senior debut with AFE on 9 December, starting in a 2–0 away loss to Marília, for the year's Copa Paulista.
After failing to establish himself as a regular starter, Medina was loaned to Taubaté on 10 January 2023.[7] He returned to Ferroviária in April,[8] but only became a regular starter for the club in the following year.[1]
On 5 November 2024, Medina renewed his contract with Ferroviária until the end of 2025.[9] He scored his first senior goal the following 17 April, netting his side's second in a 2–0 Série B home win over Atlético Goianiense.
