Career edit

In 2006–07, he played on-loan, as a striker, for the Portuguese club Sporting. Most notably he is the brother-in-law of Portugal ace Deco.

Alecsandro joined Sporting with a promising record with his club Cruzeiro, 10 goals in 18 games. Alecsandro recorded his first Sporting goal against Desportivo Aves in a league match.

He is the son of Reinaldo Felisbino (Lela) and the brother of Richarlyson and brother-in-law to Deco who are all professional footballers. Alecsandro returned to Cruzeiro after his loan spell with Sporting ended.

However his agent Oldegard Filho has confirmed that Alecsandro will be leaving Cruzeiro in January 2008 with PSG the only club showing a firm interest.[2]

Despite the interest from PSG, he later joined Al Wahda FC in January 2008. Sport Club Internacional have engaged Brazilian striker Alecsandro on 28 January 2009.[3]

On 19 December 2012, in an exchange for Fillipe Soutto and Leonardo, Alecsandro signed with Atlético Mineiro, where he played with his sibling Richarlyson.[4]

Alecsandro signed with Flamengo in January 2014.[5] During a Copa do Brasil tie against América-RN, Alecsandro suffered a skull fracture in an aerial clash with a defender, which required surgery, making him miss the rest of the season.[6]

On 11 January 2019, Alecsandro joined Campeonato Brasileiro Série B club São Bento.[7]

Personal life edit

Alecsandro is son of former footballer Lela, and the elder brother of Richarlyson.
