Club career

Santa Cruz

Born in Recife, Pernambuco, Raniel started his career at futsal before moving to football, and was a Santa Cruz youth graduate.[1] He made his first team debut on 9 March 2014, coming on as a second-half substitute for Carlos Alberto in a 7–0 home routing of Salgueiro.[2]

Raniel made his Série B debut on 19 April 2014, starting in a 1–1 home draw against ABC. On 21 July, he was preventively suspended for 30 days after failing a doping exam;[3] the substance was later revealed to be cocaine.[4]

Raniel was suspended for one year in November 2014,[5] but he was able to play due to preliminary injunctions. He scored his first senior goal the following 21 March, netting the opener in a 3–0 home defeat of Serra Talhada.[6]

In May 2015, Raniel was again suspended, being out of action until September.[7] On 25 September, shortly after returning, he was suspended by FIFA until the following February,[8] but Santa Cruz managed to overturn the decision in October.[9]

Cruzeiro

On 19 March 2016, Santa Cruz agreed to loan Raniel to Cruzeiro, starting the following May, until December.[10] Initially assigned to the under-20s, he was bought outright in January 2017.[11]

Raniel made his first team debut for Cruzeiro on 5 February 2017, starting in a 2–1 home win against Tricordiano for the Campeonato Mineiro championship.[12] His Série A debut occurred on 14 May, as he replaced goalscorer Ramón Ábila in a 1–0 home success over São Paulo.

Raniel scored his first goal for Raposa on 20 August 2017, netting the last of a 2–0 home win against Sport. The following 13 March, he renewed his contract until 2022.[13]

São Paulo

On 5 July 2019, Raniel signed a five-year contract with fellow top tier club São Paulo.[14] He made his debut for the club eight days later in a 1–1 home draw against Palmeiras, and scored his first goal in a 4–0 away routing of Chapecoense.[15]

Santos

On 11 December 2019, Raniel agreed to a four-year deal with Santos, with Vitor Bueno moving in the opposite direction.[16] He made his debut for the club the following 23 January, replacing Kaio Jorge at half-time in a 0–0 Campeonato Paulista home draw against Red Bull Bragantino.[17]

Raniel scored his first goals for Peixe on 30 January 2020, netting a brace in a 2–0 home defeat of Inter de Limeira.[18] He tested positive for COVID-19 in September, subsequently recovered, but in October contracted thrombosis in his right leg; the disease was also linked as a consequence of the COVID.[19]
