Bruno Chalkiadakis (Greek: Μπρούνο Χαλκιαδάκης), born Bruno Pereira Da Silva Araujo (born 7 April 1993) is a Greek-Brazilian footballer who currently plays for Superleague Greece club Olympiacos, as a midfielder.
Club career
Ergotelis
Bruno arrived in Greece at the age of 16, when he was spotted by Ergotelis scouters in Brazil. Considering him to be a strong prospect for the men's team, the club quickly arranged for his legal adoption by the club-affiliated Chalkiadakis family, which earned him Greek citizenship.[1] He initially played with the youth team of Ergotelis, and signed his first professional contract with the club on 24 May 2011.[2] He made his debut as a substitute on 11 December 2011, in a home match against club rival OFI.[3]
He renewed his contract with the club on 21 August 2014 [4] and had since been a regular starter. Despite Ergotelis' relegation at the end of the season, he impressed with his skills, having scored 5 goals in a total of 29 season appearances for the club. He scored his first goal in a 4-1 away win against Niki Volos on 21 September 2014.[5]
Olympiacos
On 21 May 2015, it was reported in the Greek press that Bruno was transferred to Greek champions Olympiacos, signing a 5-year contract with the club. It is rumored that the player will soon be joining Panionios on a free transfer.
International career
Having acquired Greek citizenship, Bruno is eligible to play for the Greek national football team and was actually called up in the U-19 Greek national football team pre-selection for the 2012 Qatar Youth International Tournament along with team-mate Andreas Bouchalakis,[6] before suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury during a post-season Ergotelis friendly, which eventually kept him out of the tournament.[7]
