Club career

Barcelona

Born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Sandro joined FC Barcelona's youth setup in 2009, aged 14, after starting out at local UD Las Palmas.[2] On 10 June 2013, he was promoted to the former's B-team,[3] and made his professional debut on 17 August in a 1–2 away loss against CD Mirandés for the Segunda División championship.[4]

Sandro scored his first goal as a professional on 15 September 2013, netting the first of a 2–0 home win against Real Madrid Castilla.[5] He finished the campaign with 31 appearances, netting seven times to help his team finish third.[6]

On 18 August 2014, Sandro scored the last of a 6–0 triumph over Club León for that year's Joan Gamper Trophy, after assisting fellow youth graduate Munir El Haddadi in the fifth.[7] He was also called up to the main squad for the match against Elche CF,[8] but eventually remained unused in the 3–0 La Liga win on 24 August.[9]

Sandro made his debut in the Spanish top level on 31 August 2014, coming on as a substitute for Pedro midway through the second half of the fixture at Villarreal CF and scoring the game's only goal 12 minutes later.[10] He netted for the first time in the UEFA Champions League on 21 October, contributing to a 3–1 group stage home win against AFC Ajax with an injury-time strike.[11] On 16 December he scored his first goal in the Copa del Rey, in a 8–1 home routing of SD Huesca.[12]

On 2 December 2015, in the midst of a lengthy scoring drought for both players,[13][14] Sandro scored a hat-trick and assisted once whilst Munir contributed with a brace in the 6–1 home win against CF Villanovense for the domestic cup, to send Barcelona into the round of 16.[15] As the former appeared in just ten league games throughout the season, technical director Robert Fernández announced in May 2016 that the player would leave the club the following month, adding he was only kept in the squad due to a transfer embargo that was to end shortly after.[16]

On 2 July 2016, Málaga CF leaked news of the potential signing of Sandro, and their official website temporarily featured a player profile, shortly after his release from Barcelona.[17] Five days later, they officially announced his signing on a three-year deal.[18] He made his debut on 19 August, starting as they began the season with a 1–1 draw against CA Osasuna, and scored his first goal four weeks later to equalise in a 2–1 win over SD Eibar also at La Rosaleda.[19]
