Cléverson Gabriel Córdova (born 9 August 1985), commonly known as Cléo, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Goiás. He also holds Serbian citizenship.
While playing on three different continents, Cléo scored at least once in the major club international competitions, in the Copa Libertadores for Atlético Paranaense, in the UEFA Champions League for Partizan, and in the AFC Champions League for two clubs, Guangzhou Evergrande and Kashiwa Reysol.
Born in Guarapuava, Cléo started out with Batel, before joining Comercial (PR). He was then spotted by Olivais e Moscavide, which brought him to Portugal in 2004. A little more than six months, Cléo returned to Brazil and signed for Atlético Paranaense, playing with them in the 2005 and 2006 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. He also made three appearances in the 2005 Copa Libertadores, scoring once against Paraguayan side Cerro Porteño. Meanwhile, Cléo was sent on loan to Ferroviária and Figueirense in 2005. In the summer of 2006, Cléo moved back to Olivais e Moscavide, staying there for next two seasons.
