Club career

Early years and Estoril

Born in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Carlos Eduardo played youth football for three clubs. He started his senior career with Desportivo Brasil, who loaned him several times for the duration of his contract; in the Série A, he represented Fluminense FC[3] and Grêmio Barueri Futebol.[4]

Carlos Eduardo moved to Portugal in January 2011, being loaned to G.D. Estoril Praia of the Segunda Liga.[5] He contributed 23 matches and one goal in his first full season, to help his team win the league and return to the Primeira Liga after a seven-year absence.[6]

Carlos Eduardo made his debut in the Portuguese top division on 17 August 2012, coming on as a 60th-minute substitute in a 2–1 away loss against S.C. Olhanense.[7] He totalled nearly 1,600 minutes of action – notably scoring twice in a 4–0 home win over C.D. Nacional[8] – during the campaign as the Lisbon club overachieved for a final fifth position and qualified for the UEFA Europa League.[9]

Porto

On 22 May 2013, Carlos Eduardo signed a four-year contract with another Portuguese side, FC Porto,[10] alternating between the main squad and the reserves in his first year.[11] For 2014–15, he was loaned to France's OGC Nice.[12]

Carlos Eduardo scored five times in Nice's 7–2 away rout of En Avant Guingamp on 26 October 2014, including a first-half hat-trick.[13] [14]

Al Hilal

In the summer of 2015, Carlos Eduardo joined Al Hilal SFC.[15] [16] In his very first appearance with the Saudi club, on 12 August 2015, he netted the only goal in a win against Al Nassr FC in the Saudi Super Cup at Loftus Road.[17] Late in the month, in two games separated by four days, he helped defeat Lekhwiya SC (4–1 home victory, in the AFC Champions League) and Al Fateh SC (2–1, away) by scoring a total of three times.[18] [19]

On 15 August 2017, Carlos Eduardo scored twice in a 4–3 home victory over Al Taawoun FC.[20] On 24 November 2019, even though he did not take part in the final, the side conquered the Champions League after a 20-year wait.[21]

Later career

Carlos Eduardo agreed to a three-year deal at Shabab Al Ahli Club of the UAE Pro League in late August 2020, on a free transfer.[22] He returned to the Saudi Pro League on 11 January 2022, on a deal at Al-Ahli Saudi FC.[23]

In July 2022, Carlos Eduardo agreed to a two-year contract at Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas.[24] In his second season, he totalled 12 goals and seven assists in all competitions.[25]

Carlos Eduardo married Stéphannie Oliveira (born 1991), daughter of fellow footballer Bebeto.[26]
