The announcement of Panathinaikos

“PAE Panathinaikos announce the acquisition of Bernard! The Brazilian ace has signed a two-year contract with Trifylli.

Bernard Anicio Caldeira Duarte, as his full name is, was born on September 8, 1992 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Panathinaikos’ new transfer acquisition launched his career at Atlético Mineiro and from a young age everyone was talking about his talent thanks to his superb technique, speed of thought and execution, ability to play both at the end of midfield and as a midfielder in a match organizer. At the age of 20 he was called up to the Brazil national team, an example of his great worth while winning the Copa Libertadores with Atlético Mineiro.

In 2013 he “forced” Ukrainian Shakhtar Donetsk to spend 25 million euros to acquire him. He immediately played in the Champions League while celebrating the championship of Ukraine in his first season. At the end of that season, he took part in the 2014 World Cup on home soil and even started in Brazil’s semifinals (bitter, heavy loss) against Germany. With the Seleção he recorded 14 missions and one goal.

He stayed at Shakhtar for five years during which he celebrated three league titles and as many Cups and Super Cups. In Ukraine, he was particularly loved by Shakhtar fans for his exploits.

In 2018, the world’s first division, the Premier League, opens its doors to Bernard. Everton take it on and immediately the Brazilian ace gets a starter shirt. It took three years for Sharjah’s offer to come from the United Arab Emirates, where he played last season.

We welcome Bernard to the Panathinaikos family!”
