Alan Patrick Lourenço (born 13 May 1991), or simply Alan Patrick, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Internacional.

Career

Santos

Patrick played 39 games for Santos and scored seven goals. He helped Santos reach the final of the Copa São Paulo 2010, but the team lost 3–0 on penalties after a 1–1 tie in regulation time. On 12 May 2011, Patrick scored a crucial goal in the 2011 Copa Libertadores quarterfinals match against Once Caldas, which finished in a 1-0 away victory and sent Santos through to the semi-finals 2-1 on aggregate. Santos eventually won the tournament, with Patrick being part of the squad.

Shakhtar Donetsk

On 24 June 2011, Patrick signed a five-year contract with Ukrainian giants Shakhtar Donetsk for 4 million.[3]

Patrick rarely featured for Shakhtar during his first season in Ukraine with his first appearance of the season in a competitive game coming on 12 September 2011 in the Ukrainian Cup against FC Shakhtar Sverdlovsk. He scored the first goal for his team in a 2–0 win.[4] His league debut came on 21 April 2012 as a 73rd-minute substitute for Henrikh Mkhitaryan in a 3–1 victory over Tavriya Simferopol at the Donbass Arena.[5] He made his next appearance the following season in a 4–1 league win over Vorskla Poltava in another substitute appearance, coming on in the 70th minute for Marko Dević.[6] On 4 May 2013, he scored his first league goal for Shakhtar in a 1-1 draw against FC Mariupol.

Flamengo loan

On 11 June 2015, Alan Patrick joined Flamengo on a loan deal until December of the same year.[7] He finished his first season for Flamengo with 27 appearances and being the club's league top scorer with 7 goals. However, in October 2016, Patrick, alongside Éverton, Marcelo Cirino, Pará and Paulinho got involved in trouble through the media due to excessive partying.[8] The group of players were called "Bonde da Stella", because Stella Artois was the brand of beer they used to drink in those parties. All five players were fined causing embarrassment with the club's directors, but only Paulinho left the club for the following season on loan to Santos. Despite this problem his loan deal was eventually extended for another year.[9]

Return to Shakhtar

He returned to Shakhtar in January 2017. Patrick became an important member of the Shakhtar side during the 2017–18 season and helped the club to their second successive league and cup double. On 8 May 2018, he signed a contract extension until June 2022.

On 11 August 2020, Patrick scored from the penalty spot as Shakhtar defeated FC Basel by a score of 4–1 to reach the semi-finals of the Europa League.[10]

On 21 August 2020, Patrick scored two goals in Shakhtar's first league game of the 2020–21 season, a 3–1 win over Kolos Kovalivka.[11]

Internacional

On 12 April 2022, Internacional announced the signing of Patrick on a contract until April 2025, with Shakhtar confirming the move the following day.[12] [13] He had a good return season, playing 26 league matches and scoring 6 goals, including a brace against Goias.[14] In the 2023 Copa Libertadores, he scored five goals, including a man of the match performance against Metropolitanos, where he scored and assisted Luiz Adriano for the 2–1 win that sent his club into the knockout stages of the competition.[15] He also added goals in the quarter finals against River Plate and semi-finals against Fluminense, where they were eliminated.
