Wallisson Luiz Alves Máximo (born 23 September 1997), simply known as Wallisson, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Série C club Athletic-MG.

Club career

Born in Central de Minas, Minas Gerais, Wallisson began his career with local side in 2015. He moved to Holanda later in the year, appearing for the club in the 2015 Copa Amazonas.[1]

Wallison played for the under-20 side of Holanda during the 2016 season, as the club did not have a senior squad active. He represented Portuguesa-RJ in 2017, also in the under-20 category.

In November 2017, Wallisson was included in Democrata's squad for the 2018 Campeonato Mineiro.[2] He was subsequently loaned to, before returning to Democrata in January 2019.[3]

On 7 May 2019, Wallisson was presented at Volta Redonda,[4] on loan from Serra Macaense. He signed a permanent deal with Voltaço on 7 October,[5] and was regularly used afterwards.

On 11 January 2022, after a short period at Nova Venécia (where he won the Copa Espírito Santo), Wallisson signed for Athletic-MG.[6] On 12 April, he moved to Série B side Ponte Preta.[7]

On 4 August 2022, after already becoming a starter for Ponte, Wallisson renewed his contract with the club until 2027.[8] In December, however, he terminated his link after alleging unpaid wages.[9]

On 20 December 2022, Wallisson was announced at newly-promoted to Série A side Cruzeiro.[10] The following 28 August, recently-promoted to Primeira Liga club Moreirense announced the signing of Wallisson on a four-year contract.[11]

On 5 January 2024, after having failed to establish himself as a starter for Moreirense, Wallisson returned to Brazil, signing for recently-promoted to Série C side Athletic-MG.[12]
