Bueno made his professional debut for the latter on 25 January 2014, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 4–2 home win against Paulista for the Campeonato Paulista championship.[2] On 20 November, after being the club's top goalscorer in the year's Copa Paulista, he extended his contract until 2017.[3]

Bueno scored his first professional goal on 5 April 2015, netting the first in a 2–0 home success over São Paulo.[4]

On 26 May 2015 Bueno joined Santos on loan until the end of the year, and was initially assigned to the club's under-23 squad.[5] He made his Série A debut on 17 September 2015, coming on as a late substitute in a 4–0 home routing over Atlético Mineiro.[6] He scored his first goal in the category on 6 December, netting his team's fourth in a 5–1 home routing of Atlético Paranaense.[7]

On 16 April 2016, Bueno scored a brace in a 2–0 Paulistão home win against São Bento, which ensured his side in the semifinals of the tournament.[8] He was also a starter in both finals, being crowned champions after a 2–1 win on aggregate over Audax.

On 18 May 2016, Bueno signed a new contract with Santos, running until 2020.[9] He scored his first league goal of the campaign four days later, netting his team's first in a 2–1 home win against Coritiba through a direct free kick.[10]

Bueno became an undisputed starter for Peixe, scoring goals against Botafogo,[11] Sport[12] and São Paulo[13] in the month of June 2016. He repeated the feat in the following month, netting against Ponte Preta,[14] Vitória[15] and Cruzeiro.[16] In September, Vitor scored goals against Corinthians[17] and Santa Cruz,[18] taking his tally up to ten and becoming the club's top goalscorer in the Brasileirão.
