[edit] Football career
Álvaro played in many Brazilian teams from 1997 to 2000, after being signed by UD Las Palmas, where he spent three years. While in the Canary Islands, he was found guilty of forging a European Union passport, spending several months in 2001-02 on the sidelines.[1] In 2003 he signed for Real Zaragoza, where he spent another three years and his career really took off.
In 2006-07, Álvaro joined Levante UD, which had just regained top flight status. He was expected to sign for English Premier League team Newcastle United for a fee around £3 million before the January 2008 transfer window closed. However, Álvaro finally remained in Spain until the end of the season, as Newcastle's offer proved to be a hoax.
In June 2008, in the middle of a severe financial crisis at Levante and with the club also being relegated, Álvaro returned to Brazil and signed with Sport Club Internacional. On the following year he signed an one-year deal with Flamengo.
