Maswel Ananias Silva (born 28 June 2002), commonly known as Max, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Athletic.
Career A Sampaio Corrêa-RJ youth graduate, Max made his senior debut in the 2023 Campeonato Carioca Série A2, as the club achieved promotion as champions. He was a regular starter for the club in the 2024 Campeonato Carioca, scoring a goal against Vasco da Gama on 22 January and a brace against Audax Rio which qualified the club to the Taça Rio.
On 13 March 2024, after being Sampaio's top goalscorer in the Carioca, Max was loaned to Série A side Atlético Goianiense until the end of the year, with a buyout clause. He made his club – and top tier – debut on 14 April, coming on as a late substitute for Luiz Fernando in a 2–1 home loss to Flamengo.
Back to Sampaio for the 2025 Campeonato Carioca, Max was one of the top scorers with six goals, and helped the side to qualify to the Série D for the first time ever.
