Carlos Alberto, real name Carlos Alberto Gomes de Jesus , born December 11, 1984, in Rio de Janeiro, is a Brazilian attacking midfielder, who, as of 2007, is back on his first team, Fluminense Football Club.

Carlos Alberto started his career with Fluminense, where he won the Campeonato Carioca on 2002. He moved on to FC Porto under coach José Mourinho in January 2004. There, he won the Portuguese Championship and the UEFA Champions League, where he scored the first goal in the 3:0 rout of AS Monaco.

As of 2005, he has played four times for Brazil.

In the begning of 2005, he moved to Corinthians (who signed a partnership with MSI, where he won the Brasileirão in 2005 being one of the major players of the team. In 2006 Corinthians did poorly on all competitions and Carlos Alberto lost a lot of room in the team and after a long fight with Corinthians manager, Emerson Leão, which peaked at a Copa Sul-Americana game against Club Atlético Lanús, he stated he would never again play in Corinthians as long as Leão remained as manager.

By the end of 2006, MSI tried to sell him abroad, but he said the only team he would play for was glasgow rangers(accepting a lower wage) and now he moved (on loan) to the team he likes the most, where he stated he will play until January 3rd 2007.
