He then joined in summer 2017 Polish side Zagłębie Sosnowiec helping them achieve promotion to Polish top-flight, and playing following season with them in the 2018–19 Ekstraklasa.[4] His fine performances during the first half of the season, called the attention of other clubs during the winter transfers window, and thus he got brought by the Romanian historical powerhouse Dinamo Bucharest, playing with them the second half of the 2018–19 Liga I season.[4] Dinamo finished the season in a disappointing 9th place, and Alexander Christovão left and signed with Saudi Arabian side Al-Mujazzal.[4]
