Career

On March 10, 2016, he made his professional debut with Cruzeiro in a 2–1 victory over Atlético Paranaense.[1] On 31 August 2016, the last day of pre-season transfer window, Viana joined Olympiacos.[2]

The transfer of Viana to Olympiacos for €2 million is remarkable among the transfers involving Cruzeiro defenders. In Brazilian currency, the transfer of Bruno Viana was the fourth largest to reach R $7.6 million due to the devaluation of the real against the euro and the US dollar.[3]

On 5 February 2017, he scored his first goal with the club, opening the score in a 3–0 home Superleague win against Iraklis. On 7 July 2017, he signed a single-season contract with Portuguese club Braga on loan from Olympiacos.[4] On 29 October 2017, he scored his first goal with the club sealing a 1–0 home win game against Chaves.

On March 1, 2018 according to recent reports from Portugal, Braga have decided to buy talented central defender from Olympiacos. The Portuguese club will have to pay an estimated amount of €3 million in the summer of 2018, in order to secure the capture of 23-year-old Brazilian stopper, who has made 26 official performances with four goals in all competitions during 2017–18 season.[5] Eventually, after his impressive half session with Braga, the Brazilian defender has completed his permanent transfer to the Portuguese club. It’s reported that Olympiacos will receive €3 million for the deal, while Viana is rewarded with a five-year Braga contract through to 2023.[6]
