[edit]

Born in Curitiba, Paraná, Giuliano began his career with the youth sides of Paraná Clube at the age of eight.[2] He signed his first professional contract with the club on 13 February 2007, and made his first team debut at the age of 17 on 12 April, coming on as a second-half substitute for Joelson in a 3–1 Campeonato Paranaense home loss to Coritiba,[3] as his club was already qualified to the semifinals.

Giuliano made his Série A debut on 9 September 2007, replacing Everton late into a 1–0 home win over Corinthians.[4] He scored his first professional goal on 10 November, netting his team's second in a 3–2 loss to Botafogo,[5] and appeared in a further nine league matches during the season as his side suffered relegation.

Giuliano became a regular starter of Paraná during the 2008 season, and was elected the breakthrough player of the year's Série B.[6]

Internacional

[edit]

On 22 December 2008, Giuliano signed a five-year contract with Internacional,[7] for a rumoured fee of R$ 2.5 million.[8] He made his debut for the club on 15 February 2009, replacing Andrezinho in a 5–1 Campeonato Gaúcho home routing of Caxias.[9]

Initially a backup option, Giuliano scored his first goal for the Colorado on 7 March 2009, netting his team's third in a 4–0 home routing of Veranópolis.[10] Mainly a backup option, he became a regular starter in July, helping in the club's run which led them to the second position.

Giuliano scored six goals in Inter's 2010 Copa Libertadores winning campaign, including two goals in both legs of the finals against Guadalajara; he was also named the best player of the tournament in November.[11]

Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk

On 20 January 2011, Inter officially announced the transfer of Giuliano to Ukrainian side FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk, for a rumoured fee of € 10 million.[12] Paraná Clube later submitted a claim to FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber for overdue solidarity contribution of €275,000 and upheld by the arbitration.[13]

Registered officially on 2 March 2011, Giuliano made his debut abroad four days later, starting in a 2–2 Ukrainian Premier League home draw against Tavriya Simferopol. He scored his first goal on 6 August, netting the opener in a 1–1 draw at Chornomorets Odesa.

Giuliano scored his first goal for the Tricolor on 19 July 2014, netting the winner in a 1–0 away success over Figueirense.[19] Despite scoring only once in his first year, he became an undisputed starter during the 2015 season, netting 11 times.
