Club career

Paraná Clube saw Giuliano as a hot prospect for the future and signed him to his first professional contract on 13 February 2007.

In 2009, Giuliano was signed by Internacional, and made his debut on 2 November that year. On 18 August 2010, with his team mates, he won the Copa Libertadores. Beating Chivas 3–2 at home he also scored in the game.

Giuliano was signed by FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk for €11 million and registered officially on 2 March 2011. Paraná Clube later submitted a claim to FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber for overdue solidarity contribution of €275,000 and upheld by the arbitration.[1]

On 15 June 2014, Giuliano was transferred to Grêmio by €6 million, signing a contract until July 2018.[2]

On 21 July 2016, he was sold to the Russian club Zenit Saint Petersburg for €7 million.[3]

On 11 August 2017, Giuliano transferred to Turkish club Fenerbahçe.[4]

On 20 August 2018, Giuliano transferred to Saudi club Al Nassr for €10.5 million.[5]

International career

Giuliano has already been capped by Brazil at under-17 level, and Brazil under-20 as well, where he gained the Bronze Ball Award in 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup as Brazilian team captain.

He debuted for the senior national team in 2010 after the South Africa World Cup, under coach Mano Menezes. His first game was against Iran on 7 October 2010. He was placed on the preliminary squad for the 2012 Summer Olympics, but did not get a place in the final squad list.

He was called up to the standby list for the 2018 FIFA World Cup by coach Tite, after featuring prominently during the qualifying stages. He did not get a place in the 23-man final list, however.
