Career

In 2007, Dudu expressed his wish to leave CSKA Moscow. Olympiacos tried to sign him, but failed. In 2008, Olympiacos offered the Russian club €6 million. The offer was accepted and the player signed a 3-year contract deal on August 6, 2008. In May 2009, he signed a new contract with the Greek club which would last until June 2013 with a buy out clause of €8.5 million. On April 7, 2011, Olympiacos agreed to sell Dudu Cearense to Atlético Mineiro for a fee of €1,1 million. Dudu signed a 3-year contract with the Brazilian team. On 2012 he moved to Goiás until the end uf his contract on January 2014. Goiás wanted to extend with the player but he wanted to return to Europe. On January 27, 2014, he agreed with the Greek Club OFI for 1,5-year contract.

On June 5, 2014, he agreed for a one-year contract worth $245,000 with Maccabi Netanya of the Israel Premier League (biggest contract in the history of the club). 3 weeks later it was reported Dudu is injured and was in poor shape. He was released on September 22. He never played for Netanya in the league and only made two appreances in the Toto Cup.[1][2] He is considered the biggest flop in the club's history, mainly for the fact he never even played once in the league and the club had to pay $50,000 compensation after his release.[3]

On January 10, 2015, he moved back to Brazil and agreed to a contract with Fortaleza.
