Club career

Edenílson began his career with Guarani de Venâncio Aires in 2008, but moved to Caxias shortly after. His professional debut came in the 2009 Gaúcho, when he entered the second half of the match against Veranópolis, on 22 January. He scored his first goal for the club later in that year, in a 3–1 win over rivals Juventude. Edenílson played 82 games for the Grenás, mostly as a starter, winning 36 and drawing 22 of those matches.

In 2011, Edenílson joined Corinthians, where he featured regularly before moving to Italy with Genoa in 2014. In the following year, he was bought by Udinese.

On 31 August 2016, Edenílson returned to Genoa on a season-long loan deal.[1] After his loan to Genoa was cut short at the end of March, he signed with Internacional on loan until the end of the season.[2]

On 11 July 2018, Internacional exercised the option in the loan contract and made the transfer permanent, signing a three-year contract with him.[3]

International career

He made his debut for the Brazil national football team on 9 September 2021 in a World Cup qualifier against Peru.[4]
