Club career

Early career

Born in São Francisco do Conde, Bahia, Cléber started his career with Brasília-based club Legião before joining Paulista in 2009. He made his senior debut for the latter on 5 September 2009, starting in a 2–1 away win against Ponte Preta for the year's Copa Paulista.[2] His first senior goal came on 14 November, in a 1–1 draw at Botafogo-SP.

Rarely used, Cléber subsequently served loans at Itumbiara and Catanduvense before being transferred in 2012.[3]

Ponte Preta

On 25 April 2012, Cléber joined Série A club Ponte Preta.[4] He made his top tier debut on 2 September, coming on as a late substitute for Marcinho in a 3–1 home win against Atlético Goianiense, also scoring the last goal.[5]

Cléber was an undisputed starter for Ponte during the 2013 Campeonato Paulista, appearing in 21 matches and scoring three goals as his side was knocked out in the semifinals; he was also chosen in the tournament's Team of the year.[6]

Corinthians

On 22 July 2013, Cléber signed a four-year contract with fellow first division side Corinthians, with the club retaining 20% of the player's federative rights and a third part ownership retaining the remaining 80%.[7] He made his debut for the club on 2 October, starting and scoring the second in a 2–0 home win against Bahia.[8]

A backup to Paulo André and Gil, Cléber became a starter after the former's departure to Shanghai Shenhua in January 2014.

Hamburger SV

Cléber joined Bundesliga side Hamburger SV in late August 2014, signing a four-year contract until 2018.[9] Hamburg had to pay a transfer fee of believed to be around €3 million.[10]

He scored his first goal for HSV in a 2-1 win over Mainz 05 on 7 December 2014.
