Wallisson Luiz Alves Máximo (born 23 September 1997), simply known as Wallisson, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Série C club Athletic-MG.

Club career

Born in Central de Minas, Minas Gerais, Wallisson began his career with local side União Luziense [pt] in 2015. He moved to Holanda later in the year, appearing for the club in the 2015 Copa Amazonas.[1]

Wallison played for the under-20 side of Holanda during the 2016 season, as the club did not have a senior squad active. He represented Portuguesa-RJ in 2017, also in the under-20 category.

In November 2017, Wallisson was included in Democrata's squad for the 2018 Campeonato Mineiro.[2] He was subsequently loaned to Ponte Nova [pt], before returning to Democrata in January 2019.[3]

On 7 May 2019, Wallisson was presented at Volta Redonda,[4] on loan from Serra Macaense. He signed a permanent deal with Voltaço on 7 October,[5] and was regularly used afterwards.

On 11 January 2022, after a short period at Nova Venécia (where he won the Copa Espírito Santo), Wallisson signed for Athletic-MG.[6] On 12 April, he moved to Série B side Ponte Preta.[7]

On 4 August 2022, after already becoming a starter for Ponte, Wallisson renewed his contract with the club until 2027.[8] In December, however, he terminated his link after alleging unpaid wages.[9]

On 20 December 2022, Wallisson was announced at newly-promoted to Série A side Cruzeiro.[10] The following 28 August, recently-promoted to Primeira Liga club Moreirense announced the signing of Wallisson on a four-year contract.[11]

On 5 January 2024, after having failed to establish himself as a starter for Moreirense, Wallisson returned to Brazil, signing for recently-promoted to Série C side Athletic-MG.[12]
