Club career

edit

Flamengo

edit

Renato was hailed as one of the best products ofFlamengo's youth academy in recent years,[2][3]and had been close to a deal withPalermoin 2007.[4]His style of play, combining decisive passes with good control of the ball, pace and dribbling efforts led him to being capped forBrazil at under-20 level;his career with Flamengo had nevertheless been plagued by injuries.

Bayer Leverkusen

edit
Renato Augusto in 2010

Renato signed for GermanBundesligaclubBayer Leverkusenfor an unknown fee, though thought to be €10 million, 60% of which was retained by Flamengo;[5]the remaining 40% were owned by the Traffic and MFD investment groups, that paid €1.5 million each for a share in Renato Augusto's transfer fee, earlier in 2008.[6]

Renato made an immediate impact, becoming one of the fan favorites very quickly with his swiftness, awareness, teamwork, and his technical abilities. Despite usually playing on the right side, with Leverkusen, he began playing in the hole, just behind the striker.

Despite being plagued with injury in the2010–11 season,just like the previous ones in Germany, Augusto maintained stellar form, scoring on three occasions in one-goal lead victories. On 13 March, he scored a memorable goal where he scored a match-winner in 82nd minute againstMainz 05,giving Bayer Leverkusen a valuable victory, and vaulting them into the title race.

Renato debuted with the senior national team in a away friendly against France in February 2011, which Brazil lost 0-1. His 2nd game was a March 2011 friendly against Scotland, which Brazil won 2–0. He was not called up by Mano Menezes for the2011 Copa América,but returned to the squad for a friendly against Germany in August 2011, which Brazil lost 2–3. After that, he went more than four years without playing for Brazil, missing the2013 Confederations Cup,the2014 World Cupand the2015 Copa América.

Previously, he was part of the preliminary squad for the2008 Summer Olympics,but was not included in the final 18-man squad by coach Dunga, only getting named in the standby list. He was recalled by the sameDunga,who had returned to the job after the 2014 World Cup, for the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in November 2015.

On 17 November 2015, Augusto scored his first goal forBrazilin a 3–0 victory againstPerufor2018 FIFA World Cup qualification.[2]He was a part of the Brazilian squads at the 2016Copa América Centenarioand the2016 Olympic Games;in the latter, Brazil won the gold medal for the first time, and in the final against Germany after a 1–1 draw, he converted his penalty kick in an eventual 5–4 win for Brazil.

Renato netted twice againstHaitiduring the Copa América Centenario (7–1 win for Brazil), with Brazil eventually falling out in group stage. He also scored twice more during the qualifiers, at home to Uruguay (2–2) and away to Peru (2–0 win for Brazil).

In June 2019, he was considered by some fans and part of the media to be one of the top contenders to takeNeymar's spot in the national team ahead of the2019 Copa América,held in Brazilian soil, after thePSGforward got injured in a friendly againstQatar,due to his previous works with coachTitein Corinthians and the national team itself, but eventually lost out the callup toChelsea'sWillian.
