On 16 January 2018, Cipriano was called to the senior team for a match against São Bento in the Paulista. He made his debut in the match, coming as a substitute for Júnior Tavares in the 2–0 defeat.
On 10 July 2018, Cipriano moved abroad and joined Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk on a five-year deal. He previously signed a pre-season contract with the club in January 2018.
