In 2006–07, he played on-loan, as a striker, for the Portuguese club Sporting. Most notably he is the brother-in-law of Portugal ace Deco.

He is the son of Reinaldo Felisbino and the brother of Richarlyson and brother-in-law to Deco who are all professional footballers. Alecsandro returned to Cruzeiro after his loan spell with Sporting ended.
However his agent Oldegard Filho has confirmed that Alecsandro will be leaving Cruzeiro in January 2008 with PSG the only club showing a firm interest.

On December 19, 2012, in an exchange for Fillipe Soutto and Leonardo, Alecsandro signed with Atlético Mineiro, where he played with his sibling Richarlyson.
Alecsandro signed with Flamengo in January 2014. During a Copa do Brasil tie against América-RN, Alecsandro suffered a skull fracture in an aerial clash with a defender, which required surgery, making him miss the rest of the season.
