Aderlan

Aderlan spent six years registered to a club he barely played for. From 2014 to 2019 his rights belonged to Santa Rita, and in that time he turned out for four other sides on loan — in Portugal, in Mato Grosso, in the Brazilian top flight and in São Paulo state football. The detour that mattered most came first: at Académica he played 15 Primeira Liga matches in 2014/15 and scored three goals, then 25 more league games the following season.

He is a product of Campinense, where he broke into the first team in 2009 — four Série B appearances that year, a goal in the Paraíba state cup, then seven Série C matches in 2010. A move to Joinville in March 2011 produced no official appearances at all. He rebuilt at Treze, playing 15 games in the 2011 state cup and 15 in Série C the following year, and in October 2012 his rights were sold to a group of investors.

The loans led somewhere. A season at Luverdense in 2017 brought 32 Série B matches; 2018 at América Mineiro brought 23 in Série A. When Red Bull Brasil merged with Red Bull Bragantino in April 2019, Aderlan moved into the main squad and stayed four years — 30 Série B games in the promotion season, then 34, 29, 31 and 22 in Série A, with 13 Copa Libertadores appearances in 2021 alone. He extended his contract to 2024 in May 2022.

Santos signed him as a free agent on 27 December 2023, on a one-year deal. The playing time thinned: 12 Paulista matches and four in Série B in 2024, then two league games in 2025. At Juventude he wears 13 and has 11 Série B appearances this season.
