Club career[edit]

Early career[edit]

Born in Maracaí[2] but raised in Pedrinhas Paulista, both in the São Paulo state,[3] André Anderson joined Santos FC's youth setup in 2009. Initially playing in the club's futsal youth squads, he moved to football in 2010, and subsequently progressed through the youth setup.[4]

A spotlight in the club's youth categories,[5] André Anderson signed his first professional deal with the club in November 2015, running until October 2018. In July of the latter year, he rejected an offer of renewal.[6]

Lazio[edit]

On 14 August 2018, André Anderson signed with the Italian Serie A club Lazio.[7]

Loan to Salernitana[edit]

On 17 August 2018, André Anderson joined Serie B club Salernitana on a season-long loan.[8][9] He made his professional debut on 4 November, coming on as a second-half substitute for Antonio Palumbo in 1–0 away loss against Venezia.[10]

André Anderson scored his first professional goal on 18 January 2019, netting the equalizer in a 2–1 away defeat of Palermo.[11] Back from loan in July 2019, he was included in Lazio's first team squad, and made his Serie A debut on 1 December, replacing Luis Alberto late into a 3–0 home win over Udinese.

Second loan to Salernitana[edit]

On 5 October 2020, André Anderson returned to Salernitana on loan.[12] He scored five goals for the club during the season before returning to Lazio in July 2021, where he also featured rarely afterwards.

Loan to São Paulo[edit]

On 11 April 2022, André Anderson joined São Paulo on loan until 30 June 2023, with an option to buy.[13] He only featured in 12 matches (none of them in the 2023 season), before being dismissed by the club in June 2023;[14] he later notified the club to request a loan extension for a further year.[15]

International career[edit]

Although born in Brazil, André Anderson is eligible to Italy due to his ancestry. On 4 February 2019, he was called up to the latter's under-20s.[16]
