Alberto Aladje Gomes de Pina (born 22 October 1993), known as Aladje, is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Italian club Savona F.B.C. as a forward.
Club career
Born in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau to a father of Portuguese descent, Aladje started playing organized football with Calcio Padova in Italy.[1] In summer 2012 he was acquired by Serie A club A.C. ChievoVerona,[2][3] but never represented the team officially, first being loaned to F.C. Aprilia in Lega Pro Seconda Divisione.
On 8 July 2014, already owned by U.S. Sassuolo Calcio, Aladje signed with F.C. Pro Vercelli 1892 also in a temporary deal.[4] His first and only appearance as a professional took place on 6 December of that year, when he came on as a 76th-minute substitute in a 0–4 home loss against Delfino Pescara 1936 for the Serie B.[5]
International career
Aladje chose to represent Portugal internationally, first being selected to the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Turkey. He started for the national team in the group stage opener against Nigeria, scoring in a 3–2 win;[6] he added a further two in the next two games, with South Korea and (2–2) Cuba (5–0).[7][8]
Aladje won his only cap for the under-21 side on 14 August 2013, playing 78 minutes in a 5–2 friendly win over Switzerland.[9]
