Alex Sandro Lobo Silva, or simply Alex Sandro (born 26 January 1991), is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Italian club Juventus and the Brazil national team, as a left back. An offensive minded defender, who is also a strong tackler,[2] he is a player who is a "powerful runner, can beat opponents one-on-one and is an excellent crosser of the ball."[3] His playing position and playing style have drawn comparisons with compatriot and 2002 World Cup Winner Roberto Carlos.[4]

At club level, Alex Sandro began his career with Atletico Paranaense, and later also played for Santos on loan. In 2011, he joined Porto for €9.6 million, alongside teammate and countryman Danilo, who plays as a right back.

At international level, Alex Sandro also plays for the Brazil national football team, where he has gained 6 caps so far. At youth level, he also represented the Brazil national under-20 football team, winning both the South American Youth Championship and the FIFA U-20 World Cup in 2011, as well as the Brazil national under-23 football team, with which he won a silver medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics.[5]

Club career

Atletico Paranaense

After winning an impressive amount of honours with the Atletico Paranaense youth setup and a very good performance in the Copa Parana with the U23 side, Alex Sandro earned his first call up to the senior side in October 2008. He played one game in the Brasileiro, taking on Internacional on 18 October.

In 2009, Alex Sandro played a role in Atletico's championship run in the Campeonato Paranaense, playing in 8 matches. He scored his first goal on 25 January against Rio Branco, passing the ball to himself around the keeper. As of October 2009, he has played in 9 Brasileiro matches, playing a total of 269 minutes.

Santos

Alex Sandro was signed by Santos FC in 2010 in a 2-year loan.[6] Atletico Paranaense sold him to the investors, using Uruguayan club Deportivo Maldonado as a proxy to hold the registration rights. According to Atletico Paranaense's 2010 financial report, the club received R$1,114,000 from Deportivo Maldonado for transaction(s) of unnamed player(s).[7]

Porto

On 23 July 2011, FC Porto signed Alex Sandro for €9.6 million from the proxy club Deportivo Maldonado.[8][9] He signed a 5-year contract, with a release clause of €50 million.[9]

Juventus

On 20 August 2015, Sandro joined Serie A champions Juventus for €26 million on a five-year contract.[10] He made his club debut on 12 Setember 2015, in a 1–1 home draw against Chievo Verona, in Serie A.[11] On 21 November 2015, he assisted Paulo Dybala with a fine cross, helping Juventus beat Milan 1–0.[12] Four days later on 25 November, he assisted another winning goal, this time for Mario Mandžukić, in a 1–0 home win over Manchester City in the Champions League to secure the club a spot in the round of 16.[13]

International career

Alex Sandro is a part of the golden Atletico youth setup, which has produced a great amount of defenders in very little time, with Raul, Manoel, Ronaldo, Carlao and Bruno Costa all making themselves known in 2009. After being a part of the national under 18 setup, Alex Sandro was called up to the Brazil U20 in August 2009, alongside teammates Raul, Renan and Gabriel Pimba. He made his debut in a friendly match, despite being only 18 years old. He was a member of the teams that won the 2011 South American Youth Championship in Peru,[14] as well as the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Colombia, also featuring in the final of the tournament against Portugal, which Brazil won 3–2 in extra-time.[15] He also represented the Brazil under-23 side, at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, where he made 3 appearances, including one in the final against Mexico, in which Brazil was defeated 2–1.[5]

Alex Sandro made his senior international debut on 10 November 2011, in a 2–0 away win over Gabon.[16]
