In the beginning of 2005, he moved to Corinthians (who signed a partnership with MSI, where he won the Brasileirão in 2005 being one of the major players of the team. In 2006 Corinthians did poorly on all competitions and Carlos Alberto lost a lot of room in the team and after a long fight with Corinthians manager, Emerson Leão, which peaked at a Copa Sul-Americana game against Club Atlético Lanús, he stated he would never again play in Corinthians as long as Leão remained as manager. He has since been loaned out to Fluminense from January to December 2007.

He joined Werder Bremen in July 2007 with a deal of € 7.8m which was a club record of Werder Bremen. He signed a 4-year contract.

In January 2008 he was loaned out to São Paulo Futebol Clube but he was excluded from the squad for disciplinary reasons in April 2008 three months before his contract ended. In May 2008 he signed another loan contract with Botafogo until June 2009 but on 12 November 2008 he left the club because of outstanding salary payments. On 7 January 2009 was loaned out to CR Vasco da Gama for 6 months until 30 June 2009, later signed for another 1 year an loan contract with Vasco.
