Denílson de Oliveira (born 24 August 1977), known simply as Denílson, is a Brazilian retired footballer who played as a left winger.
In a 16-year professional career he played mainly with São Paulo and Real Betis; who made him the world's most expensive player in 1998. He also appeared for teams in five other countries during his career.
Denílson gained more than 60 caps for Brazil, making his full debut before his 20th birthday and representing the nation in six international tournaments, including two World Cups (winning the 2002 edition). Denilson was known for his dribbling skills.
Born in Diadema, São Paulo, Denílson made his senior debuts with local São Paulo FC at the age of only 17, appearing with the team in the 1994 Copa CONMEBOL and winning the tournament.
In 1998, he broke the world-record transfer fee when Real Betis paid £21.5 million for his services. He made his La Liga debut on 29 August in a 0–0 away draw against Deportivo Alavés, and finished his first season with 35 games and two goals as his team ranked in 11th position; the Andalusians were relegated to Segunda División in 2000.
