Ibson Barreto da Silva (born 7 November 1983), simply known as Ibson, is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Minnesota United FC of Major League Soccer as a central midfielder.
Born in São Gonçalo, Rio de Janeiro, Ibson arrived at Clube de Regatas do Flamengo in 1992, at the age of nine. He was promoted to the first team in the 2003 season and made his debut in a match against CR Vasco da Gama, totalling nine appearances in the Série A that year; his father, Laís Souza, eventually became a scout at the club.
In the following campaign, Ibson became one of the team's most important players: under the guidance of Abel Braga and playing alongside the likes of Felipe, Jean and Zinho, he won the Taça Guanabara and the Campeonato Carioca, and also finished as runner-up in the Copa do Brasil; that season, he scored six goals while playing 44 matches.
Subsequently, some European clubs showed interest in Ibson and, in January 2005, just three games into the regional championship, he was transferred to Portuguese club F.C. Porto. Flamengo received many criticism about his transfer, most of it coming from the transfer values – around US$2,5 million. At the time, club directors said they cashed the money as his contract would run out at the end of the year, so they could have lost him for nothing.
