Club Career
In 2003, Baptista made a significant move to Sevilla FC, where he quickly made a name for himself, scoring 50 goals in 81 appearances over two seasons. His impressive performance caught the attention of major clubs, leading to his transfer to Real Madrid in 2005 for a fee of £13.8 million. At Madrid, Baptista faced challenges, often playing out of position, which affected his form. However, he still managed to contribute to the team until 2008, when he joined AS Roma. His career continued with stints at Málaga CF, Cruzeiro E.C., and CFR Cluj, among others, before briefly playing for Orlando City SC in Major League Soccer in 2016.

Baptista also had a notable international career with the Brazil national team, earning 47 caps and scoring five goals. He made his debut in 2001 and was part of the squad for the 2010 World Cup. His most memorable moment came during the 2007 Copa América, where he scored in the final against Argentina, helping Brazil secure the title.
Coaching Career
After retiring from professional play, Baptista transitioned into coaching, taking the helm of the Juvenil squad at Real Valladolid in 2019 and later managing the club's reserve team in 2021. His journey from player to manager reflects his deep commitment to the sport and his desire to nurture the next generation of football talent.

On 3 August 2003, Sevilla FC unveiled Baptista as their newest signing. He cost the Spanish club £1.75 million (US$3.75 million). Baptista made it clear he was confident that he would succeed in Spain. He donned the No.19 jersey and began playing as an attacking midfielder. Baptista settled in quickly, scoring a double in Sevilla's 4–0 victory over Racing de Santander. As the season progressed, his good form continued, including a double against Levante UD and once more hitting the back of the net against Racing de Santander, this time with four goals as Sevilla picked up a 5–2 victory at home. His form attracted the attention of several big clubs, but despite interest from English club Arsenal, Baptista remained at Sevilla for the following season, in which he once more showed his worth registering 25 goals in all competitions. Between 2003 and 2005, Baptista made 81 appearances in all competitions for Sevilla and scored 50 goals in total. With this goal tally came a summer of transfer rumours in which Real Madrid battled it out with Arsenal for his signature.

On 25 July 2005, Real Madrid confirmed the signing of the long-time Arsenal target for a fee of £13.8 million (€20 million), rising to £16.9 million (€24.5 million); Baptista signed a five-year deal.

However, Baptista was re-called to the Brazil squad for the 2007 Copa América and scored the opening goal in Brazil's 3–0 victory over Argentina in the final on 15 July 2007. Baptista ended the competition with three goals. He went on to play the 2010 World Cup for Brazil under coach Dunga.
On 27 June 2019, Baptista was named manager of the Juvenil squad of Real Valladolid, owned by former Real Madrid teammate Ronaldo. On 8 July 2021, he took over the club's reserve team after Javier Baraja left.
