Early career Born in
Campo Grande,
Mato Grosso do Sul, Éderson started his professional career at
Desportivo Brasil, a club from
São Paulo.
Cruzeiro On 15 July 2018, Éderson was loaned to
Cruzeiro, a team playing in the
Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, that has the
option to sign him after the loan ending in mid-2019. At first, the player was expected to be part of Cruzeiro U20 team, but after training with the first team for some time, Éderson impressed coach
Mano Menezes who decided to give him a chance in the first team. As Cruzeiro was playing three competitions at once, Menezes was forced to use most of the players in the squad in order of rest some important players for some priority competitions. Due to this fact, many young and reserve players had his chance in the first team. On 5 September 2018, Éderson debuted in a 1–1 draw against
Botafogo. He came in the match's 75th minute, replacing
Thiago Neves. Despite Cruzeiro's disastrous campaign in the
2019 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A (which led the team to be relegated to Série B for the first time in its history), Éderson was one of the best players in the team and was considered by many journalists one of the club's few bright spots in the season.
Fortaleza On 20 February 2021, Éderson was loaned to Fortaleza. He debuted with Fortaleza on 10 March of that same year. In Fortaleza, in 2021, he was one of the main players of the club during the Campeonato Brasileiro of that year, helping the club to qualify to the Copa Libertadores of 2022.
Salernitana On 30 January 2022, Éderson signed a contract with
Salernitana in Italy until 2026. A few months later, on 16 April, he scored his first
Serie A goal in a 2–1 away win over
Sampdoria.
Atalanta On 6 July 2022, Éderson joined fellow Serie A club
Atalanta. On 15 January 2023, he netted his first goal for the club in an 8–2 victory over his former club Salernitana. In his second season, he managed to achieve the
UEFA Europa League title with the club. On 29 January 2025, he scored his first
UEFA Champions League goal in a 2–2 away draw against
Barcelona. ==International career==
