Cristian Renato Gonçalves Riquelme (born 18 February 2000), known as Cristian Renato or just Cristian, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a forward for K League 2 side Busan IPark.
Career
Born in Ponta Porã, Mato Grosso do Sul, Cristian represented Lemense, XV de Jaú, Grêmio Osasco, Marília and Juventus-SP as a youth. He made his senior debut with the latter in the 2020 Copa Paulista as a centre-back, and later moved to a defensive midfielder position.[1]
On 2 April 2022, after being a regular starter for Juventus in the Campeonato Paulista Série A2, Cristian signed for Mirassol.[2] On 21 December, after helping the latter to achieve promotion from the Série C as champions, he was loaned to Marcílio Dias.[3]
Back to Mirassol for the 2023 Série B, Cristian was regularly used for the side before joining Boavista also on loan on 8 January 2024.[4] On 5 April, he was announced at Figueirense also in a temporary deal.[5]
On 27 August 2024, Cristian's loan with Figueira was cut short,[6] and he returned to Mirassol to feature sparingly as the club achieved a first-ever promotion to the Série A. On 7 January 2025, he joined Joinville on loan.[7]
Back to Mirassol in March 2025, Cristian made his top tier debut on 6 April of that year, replacing Fabrício Daniel and scoring the equalizer in a 1–1 home draw against Fortaleza; his goal assured the club's first-ever point in the first division.[8] Despite being a backup option, he featured regularly as the club qualified to the 2026 Copa Libertadores.
On 14 January 2026, Cristian moved abroad for the first time in his career, after being announced at Busan IPark of the K League 2.[9]
