Club career

Muriqui started his senior career in 2004 with Madureira. Considered as a talented player, he was loaned to several higher level Brazilian clubs including Vasco da Gama, Avaí and transferred to Desportivo Brasil in 2008.

On 14 April 2009, Muriqui was loaned to Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club Avaí again. In season 2009, he was considered as one of best players in the club, with 139 fouls suffered throughout the season.[1]

At the end of 2009, it was reported that Muriqui decided to leave from the club.[2] He joined Atlético Mineiro on 13 January 2010.[3]

On 30 June 2010, China League One club Guangzhou Evergrande confirmed that they had signed Muriqui on a four-year deal from Atlético Mineiro with a club record fee (as well as the domestic record fee) of $3.5 million.[4][5] He made his League One debut for Guangzhou against Nanjing Yoyo on 21 July and scored four goals in the match. In season 2010, Muriqui scored 13 goals in 14 appearances as Guangzhou finished first place in the League One and won promotion back to the top flight at the first attempt.

Although Guangzhou signed a few strong players to strengthened the team's attacking power including Argentinian Darío Conca and Brazilian Cléo in the 2011 league season, Muriqui was still the most important part of the club. He scored his first two CSL goals in a 2-2 home draw against Beijing Guoan on 17 April 2011.

On 12 August 2011, a conflic near the end of first half in the match while Guangzhou played away against Liaoning Whowin became the center of attention. In a hearing hold by Chinese Football Association 4 days later, the CFA believed that Muriqui struck Zhao Junzhe in the conflic, which resulted in a ban of 5 matches (including reserve league) and him being fined ¥25,000[6]. Muriqui expressed his disappointment about the ban which he believed to be unfair in his Weibo and said he would leave China at the end of the season[7]. However, after several talks with the club, Muriqui changed his mind and said he would happy to stay in China and fulfil his contract. Although missing 4 matches of the league, Muriqui scored 16 goals in 26 appearances in the season which made him the top goal scorer of the league. Guangzhou successfully achieved Super League champion for the first time in the club's history.
