João Pedro Maturano dos Santos (born 15 November 1996), known as João Pedro, is a Brazilian footballer who plays for FC Porto, as a right back.

Club career

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.

On 10 January 2017, João Pedro was officially presented at Chapecoense, after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with the club.[4]

On 7 June 2018, João Pedro signed for FC Porto on a five-year contract for a fee of €4 million.
