Guilherme Madalena Siqueira (Brazilian Portuguese: [ɡiˈʎɛʁmi siˈkejɾɐ]; born 28 April 1986) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Spanish club Valencia, on loan from Atlético Madrid, as a left back.
Siqueira started his career at Udinese in Italy before moving to Granada in Spain. He was then loaned to Benfica in Portugal, where he won the domestic treble in the 2013–14 season, before returning to Spanish football for the next season.
At age 18, Siqueira was signed by Internazionale from Ipatinga in August 2004, at first in temporary deal for €125,000. He also played for hometown clubs Figueirense (his first club) and Avaí before joining Inter.
In January 2006, as part of César's transfer, he went on loan to Lazio, which included an option to co-own the players rights at the end of season.
On 11 August 2006, Siqueira joined Udinese in a co-ownership deal, for €750,000. Siqueira never became a regular for Udinese and made 3 starts and 13 substitute appearances in the 2006–07 season. He made his Serie A debut on 10 September 2006 in a 1–0 loss to Messina. During the 2007–08 season, Siqueira remained at Udinese but was seldom used. As Udinese did not buy full ownership from Inter, the out-of-favour Siqueira was loaned to Ancona to join another Inter-owned player, Rincón. During the 2008–09 season with Ancona, Siqueira featured regularly for the newly promoted club making 24 league appearances and scoring his first professional goal.
