Club career
Palmeiras
A Palmeiras youth graduate, João Pedro was born in Presidente Bernardes, São Paulo. 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. 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.
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.
