Career
Club career
He started his career at América Mineiro, where he shone along with Fred, a international Brazilian player, who, coincidentally, is again Wagner's colleague in Fluminense FC,[2] and went on to play for Cruzeiro, another team from Belo Horizonte. Cruzeiro sold Wágner to Al-Ittihad after a transfer fee of around €9 million on January 2007, but a clause in his contract allowed him to come back to Cruzeiro in June 2007 after Al-Ittihad could not finish paying his transfer fee. He was important in Al-Ittihad's championship run. On 7 August 2009 Championat.ru confirm that Lokomotiv Moscow have acquired the Brazilian player, for 6 million euros. 3 days later this move was confirmed by Nikolay Naumov, president of Lokomotiv.
On 17 January 2011 he signed for Gaziantepspor for €3 million.[3]
After a feud with Gaziantepspor manager Abdullah Ercan, Wágner's contract was terminated on a mutual agreement.[4]
