Amauri Carvalho de Oliveira (born 3 June 1980 in Carapicuíba, São Paulo), better known as Amauri, is a Brazilian football (soccer) player. He plays as striker for Italian Serie A team U.S. Città di Palermo.

He played at the prestigious Viareggio Tournament in Italy with his Brazilian Club, he was young and received many offers from Italian Club, but he decided to choose a Swiss Clubs to start slowly his career in Europe. After two seasons in Switzerland for Challenge League team AC Bellinzona, Amauri was signed by Parma and immediately loaned to Napoli in January 2001, making his Serie A debut on April 14 in a league match against Bari. He then played for Piacenza (Serie A, 2001/2002), Messina (Serie B, 2002/2003), and Chievo Verona from 2003 to 2006. During his time for Chievo, and especially in the 2005/2006 season, ended with a qualification to the preliminary phase of UEFA Champions League (also favoured by the 2006 Serie A scandal which involved most of the top Serie A teams), Amauri showed most of his potential, becoming one of the key players for his team. Amauri was sold to Palermo on August 31, 2006, the last day of the 2006 summer market, for circa €8 mln, after having scored two goals in the return match of the third qualifying round against PFC Levski Sofia.

Immediately from his debut with Palermo, Amauri has become a fan favourite and a key player for the rosanero, scoring eight goals in eighteen league matches until December 2006, when a serious knee injury in a league match against Siena forced him to a seven-month stop. Amauri recovered right in time for the start of the 2007-08 season, being immediately featured in the regular lineup for the Palermo debut match against AS Roma, and scored his first goal in the new season in the next match, a 4-2 away win to Livorno.

Amauri, who never appeared at the international level for the Brazilian team, has recently asked to acquire an Italian passport, as he has lived and played in Italy for five years: therefore, he will be soon eligible to play for the Italian national team and, unless Brazil's coach Dunga beats him to it, is considered a likely future call-up of Azzurri coach Roberto Donadoni, who stated he might be interested in calling him to the Italian squad.[1].
