Renato Soares de Oliveira Augusto, or simply Renato Augusto (born 8 February 1988) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a Midfielder for Chinese club Beijing Guoan.

Club career

Flamengo

Renato Augusto was hailed as one of the best products of Flamengo's youth academy in recent years,[1][2] and had been close to a deal with Palermo in 2007.[3] His style of play, combining decisive passes with good control of the ball, pace and dribbling efforts, have led him to being capped for the national team at the under-20 level; his career with Flamengo had nevertheless been plagued by injuries.

Bayer Leverkusen

Renato Augusto in 2010

Renato Augusto signed for Bayer Leverkusen for an unknown fee, thought to be worth 10 million euros, 60% of which was retained by Flamengo.[4] The remaining 40% were owned by the Traffic and MFD investment groups, that paid 1.5 million euros each for a share in Renato Augusto's transfer fee, earlier in 2008.[5]

Renato Augusto made an immediate impact, becoming one of the fan favorites very quickly with his swiftness, awareness, teamwork, and his technical abilities. Despite usually playing on the right side, with Leverkusen, he began playing in the hole, just behind the striker.

Despite being plagued with injury in the season 2010–11, just like the previous ones in Germany, Augusto maintained stellar form, scoring on three occasions in one-goal lead victories. On 13 March he scored a memorable goal, where he scored a match-winner in 82nd minute against FSV Mainz, giving Bayer a valuable victory, and vaulting them into the title race.

Corinthians

On 20 December 2012, Leverkusen confirmed that Augusto would leave for Corinthians for a reported fee of €3.5 million.[6] In 2015 he was awarded the Bola de Ouro for leading Corinthians to the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A title.[7]

Beijing Guoan

On 6 January 2016, Augusto joined Chinese club Beijing Guoan for a reported €8 million.[8][9]

International Career

On 17 November 2015, Augusto scored his first goal for Brazil in a 3–0 victory against Peru for 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification.[10]
