Jun 12, 2025

Seoul E-Land, which is seeking promotion to the first division, has a special striker.

On the 12th, Seoul E-Land recruited Alan Carrius (28) from Brazil, the top scorer in the Saudi First Division (second division) in the 2024-2025 season' announced.

E-Land set up a foreign camp this season with its existing Osmar Ewler, E-Dale, Pedringo, and Lee Tal-ro, who played for Daegu FC. Unlike other players who do their part, Lee did not show any special performance. He played in five games, scoring one goal and one assist. He chose to part ways early on with Lee Chal-ro, who signed a short-term contract.

Karius was spotted on E-Land's radar looking for a new striker. Carius is the best player in the Saudi first division. He played an amazing role this season with 20 goals and 8 assists in 32 games. Even though he is not a professional striker, he won the top scorer. Carius' contract with Al-Adala was terminated at the end of this season. Many clubs showed interest. K-League teams such as Gangwon FC and Jeonnam Dragons also jumped in. Among them, E-Land moved quickly. He jumped into the recruitment race early on, capturing Carius' heart.

In fact, Carius was also offered by Saudi professional league teams (first division) that were pouring out astronomical amounts of money. But the East Asian League came first in his mind. There is a reason. Carius moved to Kyoto Purple Sanga in the J-League, where Park Ji-sung played in the past, in 2022. However, he played in four games and did not score a single goal. Carius, who wants to prove his worth in failed East Asia, joined hands with E-Land.

A native of vasco dagama youth, carius made his debut for bolta redondo and played for Austria, Turkiye, Saudi and Japan. In particular, he spread his wings in Al-Adala. Carius, who scored eight goals and 10 assists in the 2023-2024 season, hit a career high this season. Carius, who has versatility to play as a striker as well as side, center, and second-line positions, is said to have skills, speed, physical strength and shooting ability.

Alan, who just finished the league in Saudi Arabia, is currently resting in Brazil. Carius' Al-Adala advanced to the final after a penalty shootout in the semi-finals of the promotion play-off, but lost the final at the end of last month and unfortunately failed to cross the threshold of promotion. Carius is determined to achieve his dream of promotion at E-Land in Seoul.

Carius accepted the offer without hesitation because he wanted to run in Korea. I think I was able to achieve the top scorer because of my concentration and goal consciousness. Even in Seoul E-Land, the passion remains the same. I will devote myself to the team's victory and try to achieve my dream of promotion without fail."

Carius will enter the country and join the team as soon as all administrative procedures, including visa issuance, are completed.
