Wanderley signed for UAE Pro-League side Al-Sharjah ahead of the 2014–15 season, linking up with manager Paulo Bonamigo who he had played under at Ponte Preta. His 17 goals (from 25 games) made him third top scorer in the 2014–15 UAE Pro-League season. In the 2015–16 season he added another 15 goals, but despite having a year left on his contract, an approach from another UAE club led to doubled wage demands which Al-Sharjah couldn't meet, so he announced his intention to leave the club.
