[edit] Club career

[edit] AFC Ajax

Maxwell's former clubs are Cruzeiro and AFC Ajax. His contract with Ajax was shortened to expire on the 2 January 2006, in order to join Internazionale on a free transfer.[2] Due to non-EU player registration quota per year, he was signed by Empoli before officially transferred to Inter as similar deal like Júlio César to Chievo; however, he did not play any games.

[edit] Internazionale

In July 2006, Inter officially announced the signing of Maxwell on a four-year contract.[3]

Maxwell impressed in his first season in Serie A, most notably against Parma at the San Siro when he scored a fine solo effort which was voted Inter's goal of the season by Inter channel viewers.

Initially placed at left back, the 2007-08 season saw him move further up the field with Cristian Chivu replacing him at left back while Maxwell played a left midfield/winger role. This became very effective as Maxwell adapted well to the winger role which made use of his blistering pace. In that season, he won his second consecutive Scudetto with Inter. In the 2008-09, he suffered a serious injury that took him out of competition for six weeks. But the following games in which he returned to action, he always inserted into the starting XI and showed his impressive old form before the injury. He scored his second goal for Inter on 14 December against Chievo, which they won 4-2 after a beautiful assist from Dejan Stanković.

[edit] FC Barcelona

On July 15th 2009, it was announced that Barcelona and Internazionale had reached an agreement, with Maxwell joining the Catalan club for €4.5m and €0.5m in variables.[4]</ref> Two days later Maxwell signed his 4+1 year contract and was presented as a new Barça player.[5]

[edit] International career

Maxwell was called up to the Brazil squad in June 2008 against Argentina but not the following games due to his injury. He currently waits to make his debut for his Brazil side.
