In 2007, he played in the Pan American Games and scored 3 goals in 3 games.
There was much speculation involving Lulinha's future, but at the end of 2007 he signed a new contract with his club Corinthians, committing himself to the club until 2012. Corinthian President Andres Sanchez added "To take him off Corinthians, the interested club would have to pay 35 million Euros (£24 million), and the player has 25 percent of his rights".[1] After eleven years with Corinthians, on 23 July 2009 he joined Estoril Praia on loan for one year. On 9 August 2010, he joined Olhanense, on loan from Corinthians. Lulinha was loaned to Bahia until 1 July 2012.
