Club career[]
Fluminense[]
Wendel started his professional career in Tigres do Brasil's youth team.[citation needed] He became a regular starter in Fluminense's midfield.[citation needed]
Sporting CP[]
He signed a contract with Sporting Clube de Portugal in January 2018, valid until 2023, with a termination clause, with Fluminense receiving 10% of the money.[citation needed] Wendel initially had difficulty adapting to the tempo and tactics of European football which led to low playing time during the early campaign. However, after the appointment of Marcel Keizer as manager of the club, Wendel became a usual starter. In the beginning of December, Wendel suffered a left knee sprain which sidelined him for 2 months.[citation needed]
Zenit Saint Petersburg[]
On 6 October 2020, Wendel joined Russian club Zenit Saint Petersburg on a five-year contract.[2]
