Airton Ribeiro Santos Biography

Airton Ribeiro Santos is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on February 21, 1990 in Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Airton Ribeiro Santos (born 21 February 1990), simply known as Airton, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Fluminense.

In December 2009, after much speculation, Benfica signed Airton to a five-year contract. Flamengo received a sum around €1.1 million for 15% of his rights. In Portugal, he acted mainly as a back-up for starter Javi García for the second part of the 2009-10 season. After struggling to perform on the same level in the following season, Airton was loaned to Flamengo.

On 10 September 2015, after his contract with Benfica ended, Airton signed a one-season deal with Botafogo.

In January 2014, Airton moved to Botafogo until June 2014, with the loan deal being later extended until 30 June 2015, effectively meaning Airton will not return to Benfica. On 10 September 2014, Airton was sent off in a match against São Paulo after deliberately stepping on Alexandre Pato’s head, and was suspended for two matches. He also faced a two-year suspension for refusing to take an anti-doping test, which he was later acquitted of.

Airton arrived at Flamengo, on loan, on 7 January 2008 to play for the club’s youth team. His rights belonged to, at the time, Nova Iguaçu, which had him under contract until 2010. He would play for Flamengo until the end of 2008, but in 2008, Flamengo officially signed him, acquiring part of his rights — Nova Iguaçu and Traffic, an investors group, shared the other parts of his rights.
