Élvis Vieira Araújo (born 9 September 1990) is a Brazilian footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder.

Club career

Born in Janiópolis, Paraná, Élvis started his career at Paraná Clube.[1] He made his first team debut on 27 January 2009, coming on as a substitute for Kleber in a 1–1 Campeonato Paranaense home draw against Paranavaí.[2]

Élvis became a starter for the Tricolor during the 2010 Paranaense, and scored his first senior goal on 21 January of that year, netting the second of a 4–0 away routing of Engenheiro Beltrão.[3] On 27 April, he moved to Botafogo on loan, but was assigned to the under-20 squad.[4]

Élvis was signed by Benfica on 12 January 2011, on a three-and-a-half-year contract.[5] On 17 February, he moved to Atlético Goianiense on loan.[6] At the latter club, he made his Série A debut on 26 June by playing the last 13 minutes of a 0–1 home loss against Vasco da Gama.

On 20 July 2011, Élvis joined União Leiria in Primeira Liga on a year-long loan deal.[7] In a good individual year, he played 27 games and scored twice, but as the club was facing a severe economic crisis, he terminated his loan contract for unpaid salaries on 28 April 2012.[8]

For the following seasons, Élvis was assigned to the reactivated Benfica B, making his debut in a 6–0 win against of Belenenses on 27 August 2012.[9] After featuring rarely, he terminated his link and signed with Tombense in the Série D.[1]

At Tombense, Élvis was first loaned to América Mineiro in 2013, but returned to Tombense the following year to help the team win their first-ever promotion to the Série C.[1] His performances led to a move to Botafogo in 2015, winning the Taça Guanabara at Fogão.[10][1]

On 6 January 2016, still owned by Tombense, Élvis signed with Criciúma.[11] He finished 2016 at Figueirense,[12] and joined Red Bull Brasil on a four-month contract for the 2017 season.[13]

In April 2017, Élvis signed with CRB in the second tier.[14] The following 2 January, he returned to Criciúma.[15]

Élvis played the 2019 campaign at Oeste, being a regular starter as his side narrowly avoided relegation. On 26 December of that year, he agreed to a contract with Cuiabá.[16]

On 16 April 2021, after helping Cuiabá to a first-ever promotion to the top tier, Élvis signed a two-year contract with Goiás, as the club paid his R$ 200,000 release clause.[17] He also helped his new side on another top tier promotion in his first season.
