On 8 January 2017, Carvalho scored twice in a 3–2 home win over Vitória S.C. B.[3] Late in that month, he signed with Vitória F.C. on a half-year loan deal.[4] He made his Primeira Liga debut with the latter on 5 February, replacing João Amaral late into the second half of an eventual 1–2 away loss to F.C. Arouca;[5] he scored his first goal in the competition on 19 March, helping to a 1–1 draw against FC Porto at the Estádio do Dragão.[6]
Carvalho made his competitive debut for Benfica's first team on 14 October 2017, featuring ten minutes in a 1–0 away success over S.C. Olhanense for the Taça de Portugal.[7]
