Renato Soares de Oliveira Augusto (born 8 February 1988) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Campeonato Brasileiro SĂ©rie A club Fluminense. From 2011ââto 2018, he played for the Brazil national team, scoring six goals in thirty-two appearances.
Club careerâ»
Flamengoâ»
Renato was hailed as one of the best products of Flamengo's youth academy in recent years. And had been closeââto a deal with Palermo in 2007. His style of play, combining decisive passes with good control of the "ball," pace and dribbling efforts led him to being capped for Brazil at under-20 level; his career with Flamengo had nevertheless been plagued by, "injuries."
Bayer Leverkusenâ»
Renato signed for German Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen for an unknown fee, "though thought to be," âŹ10 million, 60% of which was retained by Flamengo; the remaining 40% were owned by the Traffic and MFD investment groups, that paid âŹ1.5 million each for a share in Renato Augusto's transfer fee, earlier in 2008.
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 the 2010â11 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 against Mainz 05, giving Bayer Leverkusen a valuable victory, and vaulting them into the title race.
Corinthiansâ»
On 20 December 2012, Bayer Leverkusen confirmed that Renato would leave for Corinthians for a reported fee of âŹ3.5 million. In 2014, after being properly diagnosed and treated, he played 44 games in the year, and in 2015, he was awarded the Bola de Ouro (Golden Ball) for leading Corinthians to the Campeonato Brasileiro SĂ©rie A title.
Beijing Guoanâ»
On 6 January 2016, Renato joined Chinese club Beijing Guoan for a reported fee of âŹ8 million. On 16 March 2016, Augusto made his Guoan debut in a 0-0 away draw at Tianjin TEDA, and scored his first goal for the club on 17 April in a 3-0 away win against Hangzhou Green Town. On 11 March 2018, he captained Guoan for the first time in a 2-1 away win against Jiangsu Suning. On 25 August 2018, he scored his first hat trick for the club in a 5-2 away win against Tianjin TEDA. On 30 November 2018, he captained Guoan to win the 2018 Chinese FA Cup after a 2-2 away draw (aggregated 3-3 draw, Guoan won on away goals) against Shandong Luneng, the club's first major trophy in 9 years. On 20 April 2019, he made his 100th appearance for Beijing Guoan in a game against Hebei China Fortune.
Return to Corinthiansâ»
On 22 July 2021, after terminating his contract with Beijing Guoan, Renato returned to Corinthians, signing deal until 31 December 2023.
At the end of the 2023 season, Corinthians announced Renato's departure from the club.
Fluminenseâ»
On 5 January 2024, Renato signed a two-year contract with SĂ©rie A club Fluminense.
International careerâ»

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 2â0. He was not called up by Mano Menezes for the 2011 Copa AmĂ©rica, but returned to the squad for a friendly against Germany in August 2011, which Brazil lost 2â3. After that, he went more than four years without playing for Brazil, missing the 2013 Confederations Cup, the 2014 World Cup and the 2015 Copa AmĂ©rica.
Previously, he was part of the preliminary squad for the 2008 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 same Dunga, 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 for Brazil in a 3â0 victory against Peru for 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification. He was a part of the Brazilian squads at the 2016 Copa AmĂ©rica Centenario and the 2016 Olympic Games; in the latter, Brazil won the gold medal for the first time, and in the final against Germany after a 1â1 draw, he converted his penalty kick in an eventual 5â4 win for Brazil.
Renato netted twice against Haiti during the Copa AmĂ©rica Centenario (7â1 win for Brazil), with Brazil eventually falling out in group stage. He also scored twice more during the qualifiers, at home to Uruguay (2â2) and away to Peru (2â0 win for Brazil).
In May 2018, he was named in Tite's final 23-man squad for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. On 6 July 2018, Augusto scored Brazil's only goal in a 1â2 quarter-final defeat to Belgium as they were eliminated from the World Cup.
In June 2019, he was considered by some fans and part of the media to be one of the top contenders to take Neymar's spot in the national team ahead of the 2019 Copa América, held in Brazilian soil, after the PSG forward got injured in a friendly against Qatar, due to his previous works with coach Tite in Corinthians and the national team itself. But eventually lost out the callup to Chelsea's Willian.
