After two seasons there, he moved to Lyon of France in a protracted transfer saga, and won three consecutive Ligue 1 titles. He made his international debut for Brazil in 2005 and was selected for the 2006 World Cup, and was also part of their victories at the 2007 Copa Am\u00e9rica and the 2013 Confederations Cup. From 2009 to 2016, Fred played for Fluminense, where he won two Campeonato Brasileiro S\u00e9rie A titles in two years (2010 and 2012) and the Campeonato Carioca (2012 \u2013 scoring in final). In June 2016, Fred signed for Atl\u00e9tico Mineiro.[3] After returning to Cruzeiro in 2018 and Fluminense in 2020, Fred retired from the professional game in July 2022.Fred is the second-highest goalscorer in the history of Fluminense, with 199 goals across all competitions, as well as the all-time second-highest goalscorer of the Campeonato Brasileiro S\u00e9rie A, with 158.[4][5] He also scored one of the fastest goals in professional football history while playing for Am\u00e9rica Mineiro, against Vila Nova during a Copa S\u00e3o Paulo de Juniores match. The goal was scored 3.17\u00a0seconds after the match started.[6][7]Table of ContentsClub career[edit]Brazil and transfer saga[edit]Lyon[edit]Fluminense[edit]Atl\u00e9tico Mineiro[edit]Return to Cruzeiro[edit]Return to Fluminense[edit]International career[edit]Personal life[edit]Career statistics[edit]Club[edit]International[edit]Honours[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Club career[edit]Brazil and transfer saga[edit]Fred spent one season as a professional at Am\u00e9rica Mineiro of Belo Horizonte before he left for their city rival Cruzeiro in middle of the 2004 season. As Feyenoord had an agreement with Am\u00e9rica, the Dutch club received Magr\u00e3o from Cruzeiro,[8] and retained 10% economic rights on Fred, and Fred himself held 15%.[8]After scoring 41 goals in 43 games for Cruzeiro in the 2005 season, Fred was signed by defending Ligue 1 champions Lyon for \u20ac15\u00a0million.[8] (of which \u20ac3\u00a0million was received by Fred, 5% as a solidarity contribution, \u20ac1.4\u00a0million to Lyon’s agent and \u20ac510,913 in Brazilian taxes).[8][9] Feyenoord then claimed Cruzeiro’s 10% of the transfer fee, as the club alleged the fee was \u20ac1.5\u00a0million instead of the \u20ac933,908.70 in Cruzeiro’s viewpoint.[8] The Dutch club sued to the Court of Arbitration for Sport and won.[8]Lyon[edit]With 14 goals in his first season, Fred was the second-highest goalscorer in the 2005\u201306 Ligue 1 season, and won his first league title with Lyon.Although he missed two months of the 2006\u201307 season,[10] Fred still scored 11 goals in 20 games, and was the club’s top scorer as Lyon defended their title. In September 2006 he scored goal against Real Madrid in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League after a long pass by Juninho, where he outstrengthed defender Fabio Cannavaro before chipping the ball over goalkeeper Iker Casillas and into the goal.[11]During the 2007\u201308 season, however, Fred was injured during a training session at the 2007 Copa Am\u00e9rica.[12] He made his comeback in October 2007, but due to competition with new signing Milan Baro\u0161 and youth product Karim Benzema, Fred had limited first team opportunities.In summer 2008 Fred was linked with a move to Bundesliga club Werder Bremen but it did not materialise.[13][14] He played 15 games out of possible 20 for Lyon in the 2008\u201309 season. He played his last match for Lyon on 10 January 2009 after he requested to leave the club in December 2008.[15] On 26 February 2009, he was released from his contract.[16]Fluminense[edit]After being released from Lyon and refusing to return from Brazil, Fred signed a pre-contract with Brazilian club Fluminense, consequently agreeing to a five-year deal. He scored twice on his debut on 15 March 2009, as Fluminense beat Maca\u00e9 3\u20131.[17] Fred helped Fluminense escape from relegation in 2009, and subsequently was the leader of the team that won the 2010 Campeonato Brasileiro S\u00e9rie A. Later in July 2011, he went on to break the record for most goals in the Brasileiro when he scored a brace against Bahia, taking his tally to 44 goals. The record was previously held by Magno Alves. On 11 November 2012, Fred scored two goals in a 3\u20132 win over Palmeiras, clinching the 2012 Campeonato Brasileiro S\u00e9rie A for Fluminense.[18] Fred almost left the club after disagreements with head coach Levir Culpi in April 2016, but eventually remained.[3]Atl\u00e9tico Mineiro[edit]On 8 June 2016, Atl\u00e9tico Mineiro club president Daniel Nepomuceno announced on his Twitter account that the club had signed Fred. The player agreed to a two-year deal with the club, according to its press representatives.[3][19] Fred made his Atl\u00e9tico debut on 12 June 2016 in the Cl\u00e1ssico Mineiro against rivals Cruzeiro. He scored and celebrated against his former club in a 2\u20133 defeat at the Est\u00e1dio Independ\u00eancia.[20] Fred was the top goalscorer of the 2016 Campeonato Brasileiro S\u00e9rie A, along with two other players, with 14 goals. He achieved the feat for the third time in his career, which is a record (also shared, with Rom\u00e1rio, T\u00falio Maravilha and Dad\u00e1 Maravilha).[21]Return to Cruzeiro[edit]On 23 December 2017, Fred and Atl\u00e9tico agreed on the termination of his contract[22] and on the same day it was announced his return to Cruzeiro,[23] 12 years after originally leaving. He made his second debut for the club on 17 January 2018, in the season opening match against Tupi at the Mineir\u00e3o in the Campeonato Mineiro, which ended in a 2\u20130 win for Cruzeiro.[24]Return to Fluminense[edit]On 31 May 2020, Fred rejoined Fluminense on a two-year deal.[25] In April 2022, he announced his decision to retire after struggling with diplopia and other physical issues.[26][27] He played his final match for Fluminense on 9 July 2022, a S\u00e9rie A 2\u20131 win over Cear\u00e1 at the Maracan\u00e3.[28]International career[edit]Fred made his debut for Brazil as a late substitute in a friendly match against Guatemala on 27 April 2005. He scored his first two international goals on 12 November 2005 in an 8\u20130 friendly win against the United Arab Emirates.Although he did not play during the qualifying campaign, Fred was named in Brazil’s 2006 FIFA World Cup squad as a cover for strikers Ronaldo, Adriano and Robinho. After entering as a substitute, he scored in a 2\u20130 victory against Australia on 18 June when he tapped-in a shot from Robinho which had rebounded off the inside of goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer’s near post in the 90th minute. The result put Brazil into the last 16 with a game to spare.[29]In the 2011 Copa Am\u00e9rica, Fred scored an 89th-minute equaliser against Paraguay in a 2\u20132 draw. In the quarter-finals, he was one of four Brazil players to miss in a 2\u20130 penalty shootout loss against the same opposition.In 2013, Fred was established as Brazil’s first-choice centre-forward by returning manager Luiz Felipe Scolari. On 6 February, Fred scored in a 2\u20131 defeat to England at Wembley Stadium, and went on to score in the return fixture, becoming the first player to score at the renovated Maracan\u00e3 Stadium.[30]At the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup, Fred was the joint top scorer of the tournament with five goals, and was awarded the Silver Shoe.[31] On 22 June, he scored twice against Italy in a 4\u20132 group stage win.[32] He later scored in a 2\u20131 semi-final victory over Uruguay, and capped his successful Confederations Cup campaign with two goals against Spain in the competition’s final to help Brazil to a 3\u20130 victory.[31]In May 2014, Fred was named in Brazil’s squad for the 2014 World Cup.[33] In the opening match of the tournament, on 12 June against Croatia in S\u00e3o Paulo, Fred was fouled in the 69th minute,[34] resulting in a controversial penalty which Neymar converted to make the score 2\u20131 ahead of an eventual 3\u20131 win.[35] After receiving criticism for his performances in the opening two matches,[36] Fred scored his only goal of the tournament in the final group match, a 4\u20131 victory over Cameroon which qualified the team for the round of 16.[37] He managed just five shots on target at the tournament in six matches played.[38] Fred’s prolonged run of poor form saw the player receive hostile jeers from the home crowd whenever he touched the ball in the 7\u20131 defeat to Germany in Belo Horizonte.[39] According to Opta Sports, Fred failed to make a single tackle, cross, run or interception during the match, and spent the most time in possession of the ball on the centre spot due to seven restarts and one kick-off.[40] Following Brazil’s 3\u20130 defeat to the Netherlands in the match for third place, Fred announced his retirement from international competition.[41]On 16 September 2014, it was reported that Fred came out of retirement after previously announcing retirement following the criticism he received during the 2014 World Cup.[42] Despite his intention to return to the Sele\u00e7\u00e3o, Fred confirmed his international career is over the following year, as he has yet to feature in a Brazil squad since Luiz Felipe Scolari’s departure.[43]Personal life[edit]Fred is a convert to Protestant Christianity.[44][45][46]Career statistics[edit]Club[edit]Appearances and goals by club, season and competition[47][48][49]ClubSeasonLeagueNational cupLeague cupContinentalState LeagueOtherTotalDivisionAppsGoalsAppsGoalsAppsGoalsAppsGoalsAppsGoalsAppsGoalsAppsGoalsAm\u00e9rica Mineiro2003S\u00e9rie B197\u2014\u2014\u201412[a]10\u2014311720047232\u2014\u201416[a]12\u20142616Total26932\u2014\u20142822\u20145733Cruzeiro2004S\u00e9rie A2414\u2014\u20144[b]2\u2014\u2014281620051910914\u2014\u201413[a]13\u20144137Total4324914\u2014421313\u20146953Lyon2005\u201306Ligue 1311441109[c]2\u2014\u201445172006\u201307201131205[c]2\u2014\u201430142007\u20130821741203[c]0\u2014\u20143082008\u20130915200104[c]2\u2014\u2014204Total873411360216\u2014\u201412543Fluminense2009S\u00e9rie A201262\u20146[d]54[e]3\u20143622201014556\u2014\u20149[e]7\u2014281820112522\u2014\u20145[b]213[e]10\u2014433420122820\u2014\u20147[b]310[e]7\u2014453020139320\u20147[b]37[e]2\u20142582014281854\u20142[d]011[e]5\u20144627201523952\u2014\u201414[e]11\u2014422220166233\u2014\u201412[e]61[f]02211Total153912617\u20142713805110287172Atl\u00e9tico Mineiro2016S\u00e9rie A2812\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u201428122017291231\u20147[b]612[a]104[f]15530Total572431\u2014761210418342Cruzeiro2018S\u00e9rie A6300\u20141[b]08[a]1\u2014154201930560\u20136[b]412[a]12\u20135421Total36860\u2014742013\u20146925Fluminense2020S\u00e9rie A24510\u2014003[e]0\u2014285202124562\u20149[b]77[e]6\u2014462020226121\u20145[g]07[e]0\u2014202Total541193\u2014147176\u20149427Career total456201674060803817011551784395International[edit]Appearances and goals by national team and year[50]National teamYearAppsGoalsBrazil20052220065*22007202008002009002010002011922012112013119201492Total3918*The match against Al Kuwait XI was not counted.
