Saulo Rodrigues da Silva (born 17 June 1997), known as Saulo Mineiro or simply Saulo, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Shanghai Shenhua as a forward.

Career

Saulo was born in Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, and represented hometown side Uberlândia EC as a youth. He made his first team debut on 28 March 2017, in a 2–2 Campeonato Mineiro home draw against Cruzeiro; after coming on as a 61st minute substitute, he had to leave the field two minutes later due to an arm injury.

Saulo spent the rest of the 2017 campaign on loan at América Mineiro's under-20 squad. For the 2018 campaign, after again playing for Uberlândia, he also represented Uberaba and Araxá.

In April 2019, after brief stints at Tupi and CRAC, Saulo signed for Volta Redonda. On 4 September, he renewed his contract until 2021.

On 18 September 2020, after scoring five goals in only six matches of the 2020 Série C, Saulo moved straight to Série A with Ceará. He made his debut for the club on 25 October, replacing Cléber in a 2–1 home win against Coritiba.

Saulo scored his first goal in the top tier on 30 November 2020, netting his team's third in a 4–1 away success over Vasco da Gama.
