About the player
Iago Maidana arrived in Chinese football only after a career built almost entirely on loan spells. São Paulo paid to secure the bulk of his rights in 2015, yet the player never played a single senior match for the club itself, instead being sent out to São Bernardo, Paraná and Atlético Mineiro to gain experience. Atlético made the move permanent in 2019, and Maidana went on to lift the Campeonato Mineiro with the club in 2022.
His most productive spell in Brazil came away from Belo Horizonte as well, on loan at Sport Recife, where he scored eight goals in 50 appearances between 2020 and 2021. A brief stint at Gil Vicente in Portugal followed before he returned home to América Mineiro on a free transfer in 2022, where he added a further three goals in 26 league games.
In February 2024, Maidana joined Henan FC on a free transfer, signing a contract running to December 2026. He has settled into the Chinese Super League side, passing 70 league appearances and reaching nine goals for the club by the following season. Earlier in his career, he had already tasted continental success at youth level, winning the Copa Libertadores Sub-20 with São Paulo in 2016.
