Cláudio Luiz Rodrigues Parise Leonel ( Russian: Клаудио Луиз Родригес Парисе Леонел; born 28 January 1997), commonly known as Claudinho, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder or a forward for Russian Premier League club Zenit Saint Petersburg.

Club career

Early career

Born in Guarulhos, São Paulo, Claudinho moved to São Vicente at the age of 3 and joined Santos' youth setup in 2003, aged six. In July 2015, after impressing with the under-17s, he signed a professional contract with Corinthians, being initially assigned to the under-20 squad. [3]

Corinthians

Claudinho was part of the squad that won the 2015 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, despite never playing and only being an unused substitute. After losing the under-20s final from Flamengo in 2016 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, [4] he made his professional debut on 19 March of that year, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 4–0 Campeonato Paulista routing of Linense at the Arena Corinthians. [5]

Loans to Bragantino and Santo André

On 3 June 2016, Claudinho was loaned to Série B side Bragantino for the remaining of the season. [6] He contributed with 18 matches, as the club suffered relegation.[ citation needed]

Claudinho spent the 2017 Campeonato Paulista on loan at Santo André, scoring four goals during the competition; his first came on 12 February, as he scored the second in a 2–0 away win against his parent club Corinthians. [7]

Ponte Preta

On 18 May 2017, Claudinho signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Ponte Preta in the top tier, with the club acquiring 50% of his federative rights. [8] He made his debut in the category (and for the club) ten days later, replacing Lins in a 2–2 away draw against Atlético Mineiro.[ citation needed]

Loans to Red Bull Brasil and Oeste

On 9 January 2018, Claudinho was loaned to Red Bull Brasil for the 2018 Campeonato Paulista, [9] where he featured regularly but scored just one goal. On 11 April, he moved to Oeste also in a temporary deal, [10] but cut short his loan in August to return to Red Bull. [11]

Red Bull Bragantino

On 24 April 2019, after Red Bull Brasil's merger with Bragantino to create Red Bull Bragantino, Claudinho's loan was renewed until the end of 2020. [12] He became a key unit for the club during the 2019 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B, contributing with ten goals as the club achieved promotion as champions; in September, RB Bragantino bought the 50% of his federative rights belonging to Ponte Preta, and he signed a contract until 2023. [13]

Claudinho was also a regular starter in the 2020 season, and scored his first Série A goal on 9 August, netting a last-minute equalizer in a 1–1 away draw against former club Santos. [14] The following 6 January, after impressing in the league, he further extended his deal until 2024. [15]
