Player Info
Willian Arão is a seasoned Brazilian defensive midfielder, currently anchoring the midfield for the historic club Santos. At 33, he brings a wealth of experience and tactical discipline, having established himself as a reliable and intelligent presence in the engine room of every team he has played for. His career began in the youth ranks of Corinthians before he made his professional breakthrough at Flamengo, where he became a fan favorite and a key component of a highly successful era. Arão's time at Flamengo from 2016 to 2022 was the peak of his club career, highlighted by winning the prestigious Copa Libertadores in 2019 and back-to-back Brazilian Serie A titles in 2019 and 2020. His ability to break up play, distribute simply, and protect the defense was crucial to those triumphs. After a stint with Fenerbahçe in Turkey, his return to Brazil with Santos marks a new chapter. His main honors are those domestic and continental titles with Flamengo. Known for his composure and leadership, Arão is a classic holding midfielder whose game is built on positioning and consistency rather than flashy skills, remaining a valuable asset in the latter stages of a solid career.
