Gustavo Nery
Brazilian footballer
Gustavo Nery de Sá da Silva (born 22 July 1977) is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as a left-back.
Career
In February 2004, it was announced Nery would join Bundesliga club Werder Bremen on a four-year contract from São Paulo in the summer. The transfer fee to be paid to São Paulo was reported as €500,000 or €600,000. He missed the beginning of training in the summer due to being called up to the Brazil national team. He was later kept out of action by a hand injury. In his time at Werder Bremen he was often injured and unable to secure a first-team spot, making three league appearances, two of which were substitute appearances.
Nery left Werder Bremen to join Corinthians on loan in February 2005. Corinthians also received an option to sign Nery permanently for a reported transfer fee of about €1.5 million.
Nery joined La Liga side Zaragoza on loan from Corinthians for the second half of the 2006–07 season.

Why this record matters
The phrase “brazilian footballer” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 8, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q562347. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1977, 2004, 2005 and 2006.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
