He used the aliases "Futbolista" (Footballer), "Goleador" (Goalscorer) and "Makelele". He was indicted by a grand jury in June 2018. In March 2021, he was convicted and sentenced to 135 months in U.S. federal prison.

On 4 August 2006 he signed a three-year deal with Portsmouth's south-coast rivals Southampton of the Football League Championship. The transfer fee for the three-year deal was undisclosed, but is believed to be in the region of £750,000. He appeared consistently in the 2006–07 season. He scored two goals in the Championship Play-off Semi-final Second Leg against Derby County on 15 May 2007, although it was not enough as Derby went on to win the tie in a penalty shootout.
