João António Antunes Carvalho (born 9 March 1997) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Super League Greece club Olympiacos.
Born in Castanheira de Pera, Leiria District, Carvalho joined S.L. Benfica's youth system as an 8-year-old. [3] On 11 January 2015, still a junior, he made his professional debut with their B team, coming on as a late substitute in a 3–2 home win against FC Porto B in the Segunda Liga. [4]
On 8 January 2017, Carvalho scored twice in a 3–2 home victory over Vitória S.C. B. [5] Late in that month, he signed with Vitória F.C. on a half-year loan deal. [6] He made his Primeira Liga debut with the latter on 5 February, replacing João Amaral late into the second half of an eventual 2–1 away loss to F.C. Arouca. [7] 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. [8]
Carvalho made his competitive debut for Benfica's first team on 14 October 2017, featuring ten minutes in a 1–0 away defeat of S.C. Olhanense in the Taça de Portugal. [9] His UEFA Champions League bow took place on 5 December, when he started the 0–2 group-stage home defeat against FC Basel. [10]
On 14 June 2018, Carvalho signed a five-year contract with EFL Championship side Nottingham Forest for a club-record transfer fee of £13.2m (€15 million). [11] [12] [13] He scored his first goal for them on 19 September in a 2–1 home win against Sheffield Wednesday, [14] finishing his first season with a further three as well as eight assists in a final ninth position. [15]
Carvalho struggled to make an impact during his second year. Following a pre-season injury, he did make a bright return by scoring a goal in a 3–0 victory over arch-rivals Derby County in the second round of the EFL Cup. [16] However, he was largely limited to substitute appearances by Sabri Lamouchi, making only nine starts [17] as the manager was reportedly frustrated by the player's lack of determination to improve his performances in training when he was left out of the starting eleven. [18]
On 29 September 2020, Carvalho was loaned to UD Almería, with the Spanish Segunda División club having an option to make the deal permanent. [19]
On 29 January 2022, Carvalho joined Olympiacos F.C. for an undisclosed fee. [20] [21] He scored in 1–1 Super League Greece home draws against AEK Athens F.C. and PAOK FC, [22] [23] helping his team to win their 47th national championship (third in a row). [24]
Carvalho was loaned to G.D. Estoril Praia for 2022–23. [25] He scored his only goal of the campaign on 15 May 2023, his 40-meter strike in the 2–0 home win over F.C. Arouca ensuring top-flight survival for another year. [26]
