Ricardo Bóvio de Souza (born January 17 1982 in Campos dos Goytacazes, Rio de Janeiro), or simply Ricardo Bóvio is a Brazilian football player currently playing for Cruzeiro EC. Bóvio begun his career as a youth in Vasco da Gama in 1995 and stayed there until 2003/2004 season. Ricardo Souza was transferred to Ukrainian side FC Chernomorets Novorossiysk but he couldn't adjust to the local climate and the following year returned to Brazil for Santos FC. In Santos, Bóvio proved he was a very talented youngster and many European clubs were interested for his services. Bóvio's next career station was Málaga CF but the club board decided to loan him to Greek side Panathinaikos FC with a buy clause of 1.5m €.
