Iago Justen Maidana Martins (born 6 February 1996), known as Iago Maidana, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a central defender for Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club América Mineiro.

Club career[]

Born in Cruz Alta, Rio Grande do Sul,[1] Maidana finished his formation with Criciúma. He made his first team – and Série A – debut on 23 November 2014, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Flamengo.[2]

On 7 September 2015 Maidana rescinded his contract with Criciúma, with the club still holding a percentage of his rights.[3] Fifteen days later he joined São Paulo, who paid R$ 2 million for 60% of his rights to Monte Cristo EC.[4]

On 5 January 2018, Maidana joined Atlético Mineiro on a season-long loan deal. A year later, he transferred on a permanent basis, signing a four-year contract with the club.[5]

Maidana was sent on loan to Sport Recife for the 2020 season, in which he was the team's joint-top scorer with seven goals.[6] On 9 March 2021, his loan was extended for an additional season.[7] On 29 July, however, Sport released him from his contract due to financial difficulties.[8]

On 23 August 2021, Maidana signed a season-long loan deal with Portuguese Primeira Liga side Gil Vicente.[9] He made two Taça de Portugal appearances before leaving the club in December.

On 13 January 2022, Maidana joined América Mineiro on a two-year deal.[10]

International career[]

On 15 May 2015 Maidana was included in Brazil under-20s' final list ahead of that year's FIFA U-20 World Cup.[11]
