On 17 January 2016, Maurício moved to Zenit Saint Petersburg on a six-month contract, with the option of an extension at the end of it.[3] On 19 May 2016, Zenit extended Maurício's contract until the end of the 2018–19 season.[4] On 24 July 2017, he was released from his contract by mutual consent.[5]
PAOK
[edit]On 31 August 2017, PAOK announced the signing of Mauricio on a three-year contract.[6] On 30 October, he scored both goals as PAOK won 2–0 at home to Asteras Tripoli in the Greek Super League.[7]
On 7 October 2018, he opened the score in a 2–0 home win game against Apollon Smyrnis. It was his first goal of the 2018–19 season and he was named MVP of the game.[8] On 3 February 2019, his goal in a 1–1 draw with AEK Athens helped PAOK remain unbeaten in the SuperLeague.[9]
On 10 March 2019, he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury which kept him out until late September.[10][11] After a very difficult period for the midfielder marred by injury (203 days to be exact), Mauricio returned to action in an away game against AEK Athens on 29 September 2019.[12]
According to various reports, Spanish club Getafe and French side Marseille were linked with signing Mauricio with his contract set to expire in July 2020.[13]
