Club career

edit

Palmeiras

edit

A Palmeiras youth graduate, João Pedro was born in Presidente Bernardes, São Paulo.[1] In September 2014, aged just 17, he was called up to the first team by manager Dorival Júnior.

On 17 September 2014, João Pedro made his first team – and Série A – debut, starting in a 2–2 home draw against Flamengo.[2] He scored his first goal on 11 October, netting the winner in a 2–1 home success over Grêmio, and finished the year as a starter as his side narrowly avoided relegation.[3]

After the arrival of Lucas and João Paulo, João Pedro was only utilized as a backup during the 2015 campaign, but he did play in the second leg of the 2015 Copa do Brasil Finals against Santos (2–2, 4–3 win on penalties). The same occurred the following year, as he served as Jean's backup and lifted the Brasileirão trophy, but appearing rarely.

Chapecoense (loan)

edit

On 10 January 2017, João Pedro was officially presented at Chapecoense, after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with the club.[4] He played 12 games as the team mourning the recent death of most of its players won the Campeonato Catarinense,[5] scoring once in a 4–1 home win over Brusque on 29 March.[6]

Bahia (loan)

edit

At the start of 2018, João Pedro was sent on loan to Bahia for the whole of 2018.[7] He played seven games as they too were crowned state champions.[8]

Porto

edit

On 7 June 2018, João Pedro signed for FC Porto on a five-year contract for a fee of €4 million.[9] Used mainly for the reserve team in LigaPro, he played just three games in cups in his first season, starting with a 1–1 home draw with G.D. Chaves in the Taça da Liga group stage on 14 September.[10]

Bahia (second loan)

edit

On 30 July 2019, João Pedro returned to Bahia on loan until the end of 2020.[11] He was part of the squad that won the 2020 Campeonato Baiano, but was unused in the final penalty shootout victory over Atlético Alagoinhas in the final on 8 August;[12] he played 12 games in the Copa do Nordeste including both legs of the 4–1 aggregate final loss to Ceará.[13] In January 2021, João Pedro's loan to Bahia was extended until 30 June of the same year.[14]

Corinthians (loan)

edit

On 31 August 2021, Porto sent João Pedro on loan to Série A club Corinthians until 30 June 2022.[15] He made just 8 appearances in all competitions for the São Paulo-based side, returning to Porto in July 2022.[16]

Grêmio

edit

On 13 January 2023, João Pedro left Porto on a permanent deal, joining recently promoted to Série A Grêmio. He signed a one-year contract, with an option for a further year.[17]
