About the player
Ronaldo Cezar Soares dos Santos took the long way to the Russian Premier League. Born in Rio de Janeiro, he made his professional debut with São Caetano in 2020 before moving to Bahia the following year, where he made 41 appearances, scored three goals and won the Copa do Nordeste. In the summer of 2022 he signed a three-year contract with Levski Sofia in Bulgaria, and over the following season made 51 appearances for the club, scoring seven goals.
Rostov brought him to the Russian Premier League in January 2024, in a deal reported at around €2 million, and tied him down with a contract running to June 2028. He plays right-footed as a forward: 16 goals in 67 appearances for Rostov overall, including six in 26 league matches in the 2025/26 season.
Ronaldo's international experience so far has been limited to Brazil's youth setup, including caps for the under-20 side. He has yet to add a major trophy to his collection at club level, either in Bulgaria or in Russia.
