Nilmar Honorato da Silva (born 14 July 1984), commonly known as Nilmar, is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as a striker.
He won club and personal honours with Internacional and Corinthians in Brazil, and also played in France for Lyon and in Spain for Villarreal. He also had several short spells in the Middle East towards the end of his career.
Nilmar made his international debut for Brazil in 2003 and scored 9 goals in 24 appearances. He was part of their squad that won the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup and represented his nation at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Club career
=Internacional=
After coming through the youth ranks of Internacional, Nilmar was promoted to the first team in 2002 and appeared regularly.
=Lyon=
Nilmar was signed by Lyon in the summer of 2004, initially as cover for fellow Brazilian forward Giovane Élber. He signed with a clause in his contract that stated that he could be loaned back to Internacional once Élber was fit.{{Citation needed|date=July 2009}}
Nilmar made an impressive start during his stint at Lyon, scoring two debut goals as a substitute against Rennes. He did not score any more goals in the Ligue 1 that season.
=Corinthians=
With the impending signing of Fred, Lyon chose to loan Nilmar out, this time to Corinthians in his native Brazil. They were somewhat forced to do this in order to stay within the limit of non-EU players.{{cite news|url=http://lyon.theoffside.com/team-news/the-law-rules-in-lyons-favor.html|title=The Law Rules in Lyon's Favor|date=12 July 2007|access-date=28 July 2007|work=The Offside|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070828161431/http://lyon.theoffside.com/team-news/the-law-rules-in-lyons-favor.html|archive-date=28 August 2007|url-status=dead}}
As well as this law, Lyon already had four established forwards, namely Fred, Sylvain Wiltord, Milan Baroš, and Sidney Govou, and, despite his good performances with Corinthians, Nilmar was ultimately sold to the South American club, for €10 million.{{cite news|url=http://www.actusnews.com/documents_communiques/ACTUS-0-11147-227-cp-olgroupe-uk-12juillet07.pdf?|title=NR TRANSFER : DECISION OF THE COURT OF ARBITRATION FOR SPORT IN FAVOUR OF OLYMPIQUE LYONNAIS|date=12 July 2007|access-date=27 August 2011|work=OL Group}} At Corinthians, the young striker hit the target on his debut against São Paulo FC, with almost his first touch of the ball and he continued to impress fans and critics alike throughout his first season. His skill, speed, and mazy dribbles helped win him a place in the Brazilian League all-star team for the 2005 season.
=Return to Internacional=
On 17 August 2007, the Justiça do Trabalho (literally "court of employment") cancelled Nilmar's contract{{cite news|url=http://jornal.jurid.com.br/materias/noticias/justica-trabalho-rescinde-contrato-nilmar-com-corinthians-msi|title=Justiça do Trabalho rescinde contrato de Nilmar com Corinthians e MSI|date=23 August 2007|access-date=24 September 2011|work=jornal jurid|language=pt|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120319230920/http://jornal.jurid.com.br/materias/noticias/justica-trabalho-rescinde-contrato-nilmar-com-corinthians-msi|archive-date=19 March 2012|url-status=dead}} because Corinthians and third-party owner MSI owed the player €2 million.{{Citation needed|date=July 2009}} Nilmar was consequently available to sign for any club for free,{{citation needed|date=August 2011}} while Corinthians must still pay the transfer debt of €8million they owed to Lyon for Nilmar's original transfer in 2006.{{cite news|url=http://www.actusnews.com/documents_communiques/ACTUS-0-11179-391-PR_071108.pdf?|title=OL GROUPE REPORTS DEVELOPMENTS IN THE NILMAR DISPUTE|date=8 November 2007|access-date=27 August 2011|work=OL Group}} Eventually Corinthians agreed to pay Lyon €6.5 million for the overdue portion of the transfer debt in December 2007.{{cite news|url=http://www.actusnews.com/documents_communiques/ACTUS-0-11132-441-PR_071214.pdf?|title=NILMAR TRANSFER : AGREEMENT WITH THE CORINTHIANS|date=17 December 2007|access-date=27 August 2011|work=OL Group}} after losing the case in the Court of Arbitration for Sport and FIFA Players' Status Committee.
In the following month, Nilmar returned to Internacional for undisclosed fee to Corinthians and third-party owners., despite the interest of several major clubs in Europe and Brazil. It was reported that Inter partnered with D.I.S. to sign 50% economic rights for €3 million.{{cite news|url=http://www.clicrbs.com.br/especial/rs/kzukars/19,0,1618410,|title=Clube acerta contratação de Nilmar|date=14 September 2007|access-date=27 August 2011|work=Kzuka RS|language=pt}} Internacional had sold 20% economic rights for R$5.46 million to unknown parties in 2007.{{cite web|url=http://www.internacional.com.br/extra/BALANCO_INTER_2007.pdf|title=RELATÓRIO DA DIRETORIA (2007)|access-date=27 April 2012|publisher=SC Internacional|language=pt|archive-date=24 March 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120324163713/http://www.internacional.com.br/extra/BALANCO_INTER_2007.pdf|url-status=dead}} He made his new debut for the Porto Alegre team on 4 November 2007, when Inter beat CR Vasco da Gama 2–1. He was chosen as the Man of the Match.
In January 2008, he scored an impressive goal against Internazionale of Italy in the Dubai Cup final, which helped his side win the game. In the summer of 2008, Palermo offered €15 million, with a bonus of up to €3 million. This was rejected,{{cite news|url=http://www.ilpalermocalcio.it/it/0809/news_scheda.jsp?id=9777|title=DICHIARAZIONE DI ZAMPARINI|date=2 September 2008|access-date=14 March 2010|work=US Città di Palermo|publisher=ilpalermocalcio.it|language=it|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090429025709/http://www.ilpalermocalcio.it/it/0809/news_scheda.jsp?id=9777|archive-date=29 April 2009}} however, and activated the clause that Internacional bought 20% economic rights from Nilmar for reported €2.4 million, with other parties retained 50% economic rights.{{cite news|url=http://globoesporte.globo.com/Esportes/Noticias/Times/Internacional/0,,MUL742440-9869,00-INTER+PERTO+DE+CONSEGUIR+SEGURAR+NILMAR.html|title=Inter perto de conseguir segurar Nilmar|date=30 August 2008|access-date=27 August 2011|work=Globo Esporte|language=pt}}
In December 2008, he scored the winning goal in the Copa Sudamericana final match, giving Internacional the title. It was the first time that the Copa Sudamericana was won by a Brazilian club.
=Villarreal=
In July 2009, Nilmar returned to Europe, signing for Spain's Villarreal CF for an estimated €10 million fee.{{cite news |title=Nilmar bolsters Villarreal arsenal |url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/01db-0e727d5e6d11-93e704441bce-1000--nilmar-bolsters-villarreal-arsenal/ |access-date=18 September 2018 |publisher=UEFA |date=27 July 2009}} He built up a prolific strike partnership with Italy international Giuseppe Rossi, which he likened to his title-winning alliance with Carlos Tevez at Corinthians.{{cite news |title=Nilmar: It's easy to play with Rossi |url=https://www.fifa.com/live-scores/news/y=2011/m=4/news=nilmar-easy-play-with-rossi-1410277.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180919061753/https://www.fifa.com/live-scores/news/y=2011/m=4/news=nilmar-easy-play-with-rossi-1410277.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=19 September 2018 |access-date=18 September 2018 |publisher=FIFA |date=1 April 2011}}
On 17 September 2009, Nilmar scored the winning goal in the Europa League group stage clash against Bulgarian side Levski Sofia.{{cite news|url=http://www.villarrealcf.es/principal.php?nombreModulo=noticiasDetalle&idnoticia=8371&idseccion=7&idmenu=4&idsubmenu=35|title=Roig: "Es el esfuerzo más grande que hemos hecho"|date=25 July 2009|access-date=25 July 2009|publisher=Villarreal CF|language=es}}{{dead link|date=January 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
On 10 March 2011, he netted twice (including a last-minute goal) to help his team to a 3–2 away win against German club Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg of a last 16-round match of the Europa League.{{cite news|url=http://www.goal.com/en-gb/match/58058/bayer-leverkusen-vs-villarreal/report|title=Bayer Leverkusen vs Villarreal Report |date=10 March 2011|access-date=15 March 2011|publisher=goal.com}} He again netted twice against Twente which his side won 5–1 at home.
