Renan Lodi was developed at Athletico-PR and gained international experience playing for Atlético de Madrid, Nottingham Forest, and Olympique de Marseille. His last club was Al-Hilal, from Saudi Arabia.

Renan Lodi’s Numbers

Lodi won the 2018 Copa do Brasil, the 2019 Copa Sudamericana, the 2020/2021 Spanish Championship, the Saudi Championship, and the King’s Cup (with Al Hilal) in 2023/24.

The left-back also wore the Brazilian National Team jersey in 19 matches, having participated in the 2021 Copa América.

Stint at Al-Hilal

Renan Lodi joined Al-Hilal in January 2024, after being acquired from Olympique de Marseille for 23 million euros (about R$ 150 million). During his time with the Saudi club, he played 58 matches, scored four goals, and provided nine assists.

In September of this year, the left-back was not registered for the Saudi Championship and chose to unilaterally terminate his contract, claiming he was unable to practice his profession. In an official statement, Al-Hilal announced that it will take the case to FIFA, stating that it will seek to protect its interests.
