Club career

Born in Jaciara, Mato Grosso, Valdívia played futsal until the age of 12. He subsequently moved to Rondonópolis and joined Rondonópolis Esporte Clube's youth setup.[1]

Internacional

On 15 March 2012, after being the year's Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior top goalscorer, Valdívia was signed by Internacional.[2] Initially with the under-20s, he made his Série A debut on 6 October 2013, coming on as a second-half substitute for fellow youth graduate Otávio in a 1–0 home win against Fluminense.[3]

After appearing rarely in 2014 Campeonato Gaúcho, Valdívia was an important unit for the club during the year's Brasileirão, but being used mainly as a substitute; in July, already definitely promoted, he signed a new contract until 2018.[4] He scored his first professional goal on 12 October, netting the winner in a 2–1 success over Fluminense also at the Beira-Rio.[5]

During the 2015 campaign, Valdívia was one of Internacional's main assets, scoring five goals in the year's Copa Libertadores and another six in Gauchão. On 24 September, he further extended his contract for six more months.[6]

On 24 May 2017, Atlético Mineiro announced the signing of Valdívia on a one-year loan deal.[7]

In April 2019, he joined Vasco da Gama on loan until the end of the season.[8]

Personal life

Valdívia's older brothers, Adriano and Andrezinho are also footballers. The former is a right back, while the latter is a forward.[9]

gollark: It does describe it quite well, I think.
gollark: That's the help text for it.
gollark: ```Eggs and hatchlings can become sick when they receive too many views, unique views, and clicks in a short period of time. Although sickness can occur at any time, eggs are most vulnerable when first laid. If an egg or hatchling continues to receive too many views, unique views, and clicks while sick, it may die.To “cure” an egg or hatchling of sickness, simply reduce the rate at which it is receiving views, unique views, and clicks. This may be as simple as removing the egg or hatchling from any sites you have posted it on. Since the hide action prevents eggs and hatchlings from receiving views, unique views, and clicks, it can be a useful tool at combating sickness.```
gollark: Oh? I thought it was good.
gollark: Well, you partly were, but whatever.
