One of few players in professional football who is genuinely two-footed, he is capable of playing as a
defender or
midfielder, on both sides of the pitch. On 16 July 2010, Adriano signed a 4+1 deal with Barcelona, for
$9.5 million plus a conditional fee of €4 million; it also included a buyout clause of €90 million.
He was awarded the #21 shirt vacated by
Ukrainian Dmytro Chygrynskiy, departed after just one season.
He made his debut in a pre-season friendly against
Valerenga Football, coming on in the second half; on 14 August, he first appeared officially, in the first leg of
the season's
domestic supercup, a 1–3 loss at former side Sevilla.
