Maurício José da Silveira Júnior (born 21 October 1988), known simply as Maurício, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder. Currently a free agent, he most recently played for Portuguese Primeira Liga club Portimonense.
Club career
Mauricio began his career with Brazilian side Fluminense in 2007 and made 52 appearances for the club with two goals scored.
On 2 February 2010, Maurício signed for Russian Premier League side Terek Grozny from Fluminense.[2] He scored 29 goals in 172 appearances for the club.
On 17 January 2016, Maurício moved to Zenit Saint Petersburg on a six-month contract, with the option of an extension at the end of it.[3] On 19 May 2016, Zenit extended Maurício's contract until the end of the 2018–19 season.[4] On 24 July 2017, he was released from his contract by mutual consent.[5]
PAOK
On 31 August 2017, PAOK announced the signing of Mauricio on a three-year contract.[6] On 30 October, he scored both goals as PAOK won 2–0 at home to Asteras Tripoli in the Greek Super League.[7]
On 7 October 2018, he opened the score in a 2–0 home win game against Apollon Smyrnis. It was his first goal of the 2018–19 season and he was named MVP of the game.[8] On 3 February 2019, his goal in a 1–1 draw with AEK Athens helped PAOK remain unbeaten in the SuperLeague.[9]
On 10 March 2019, he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury which kept him out until late September.[10][11] After a very difficult period for the midfielder marred by injury (203 days to be exact), Mauricio returned to action in an away game against AEK Athens on 29 September 2019.[12]
According to various reports, Spanish club Getafe and French side Marseille were linked with signing Mauricio with his contract set to expire in July 2020.[13]
