Club career
editEarly career
editBorn in Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, Brazão joined Cruzeiro's youth setup in March 2014, from hometown side Uberlândia.[1] On 11 December 2017, he renewed his contract until 2021.[2]
Despite training with the main squad during the 2018 season, Brazão was only a third-choice behind Fábio and fellow youth graduate Rafael.
Parma
editOn 31 January 2019, Brazão moved abroad and joined Italian Serie A side Parma,[3] for a reported fee of € 2.65 million.[4] He spent the remainder of the campaign as a third-choice behind Luigi Sepe and Pierluigi Frattali.
Inter Milan
editOn 28 June 2019, Brazão signed a five-year deal with Inter Milan, with Andrea Adorante moving in the opposite direction.[5]
2019–20: loan to Albacete
editOn 19 July 2019, Brazão was loaned to Albacete in the Spanish Segunda División, for one year.[6] He made his senior debut on 18 December, starting in a 1–0 away win against Tudelano, for the season's Copa del Rey.[7]
Brazão made his Segunda División debut the following 29 February, as he played the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 home draw against Rayo Vallecano.[8] However, he only featured in seven matches overall, being a backup to Tomeu Nadal.
2020–21: loan to Oviedo
editOn 31 August 2020, Brazão joined Real Oviedo on a season-long loan,[9][10] but was also a second-choice behind Joan Femenías. In January, after being deemed surplus to requirements by manager José Ángel Ziganda, he was reportedly seeking a move away from the club,[11] but remained with the Carbayones until the end of the season.[12]
2021–22: injury and return to Cruzeiro
editIn August 2021, Brazão suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury of his right knee,[13] being sidelined for the majority of the campaign. On 3 March 2022, after more than a month training at the club, he was announced back at his first club Cruzeiro on loan until June 2023.[14]
In March 2022, Brazão underwent surgery to nurse another injury in the meniscus of his left knee,[15] In May, however, he tore his ACL in his left knee, being sidelined for the remainder of the year.[16]
Brazão announced his departure from Cruzeiro in July 2022, again without playing a first team match for the club.[17]
2023: loan to SPAL
editOn 31 January 2023, after fully recovering, Brazão joined Serie B club SPAL on loan until the end of the season.[18] A fourth-choice behind veterans Enrico Alfonso and Alberto Pomini and youth graduate Demba Thiam, he only featured in one match before leaving.
2023–24: loan to Ternana
editOn 4 August 2023, Brazão joined fellow Serie B club Ternana on loan until the end of the season.[19] However, he was unable to beat off competition from longtime incumbent Antony Iannarilli, and was sent back to Inter on 2 February 2024.[20]
Santos
edit
On 27 February 2024, Brazão returned to his home country after being announced at Santos in the Série B, on a three-year contract.[21] He reportedly had signed for the club on 30 January,[22] but had to wait until their transfer ban was lifted.[23]
Brazão played his first match in more than a year on 24 May 2024, replacing injured João Paulo in a 2–1 away loss to América Mineiro; it was also his debut for Peixe and his first senior match in his home country.[24]
International career
editIn 2015, Brazão was a part of the Brazil under-15 squad in the 2015 South American U-15 Championship,[25] being a first-choice as they won the tournament.[26] In 2017, he played with the under-17s in the 2017 South American U-17 Championship and the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup, winning the former competition[27] and being named the best goalkeeper of the latter.[28]
Brazão received his first call-up to the full side by head coach Tite on 26 October 2018, for two friendlies against Uruguay and Cameroon.[29][30] He was, however, a third-choice behind Alisson and Ederson.
After featuring in two friendlies with the under-20 team in 2018, Brazão was called up to the 2019 South American U-20 Championship in December of that year.[31] However, he spent the entire competition as a backup to Phelipe Megiolaro.
In 2020 and 2021, Brazão was called up to the under-23 squad, but did not play.[32]
