In the last season of the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A, Geuvario scored five goals along with three assists for the Santos club. The Brazilian striker was one of the most significant players of the team, a lclub that once saw the likes of Neymar and the legendary Pele.

Recently, Tianjin Quanjian made headlines after acquiring Chinese Super League sideLiaoning Hongyu's goalkeeper Zhang Lu in a reported 70 million yuan (US$ 10.65 million) deal, setting a new domestic player transfer record.
The club also secured the services of striker Sun Ke for a reported US$ 10 million contract. They are currently being coached by former Real Madrid and Brazil manager Vanderlei Luxemburgo.
Tianjin Quanjian was formerly called Tianjin Songjiang FC before it was bought by the Quanjian Natural Medicine Group last year. The team finished ninth in the 16-team Chinese League One in 2015. The Tianjin Tuanbo Football Stadium is the club's home stadium having a seating capacity of over 22,000.
