Mini bio
How it started.
João grew up in Viseu, playing football at home, at school and in the street. Training with Porto meant long journeys with his father, followed by a difficult move away from home. In a Chelsea interview, he recalled feeling homesick and later struggling for playing time before the chance to join Benfica arrived.
The Benfica breakthrough.
He joined Benfica in 2015 and reached the first team in 2018. His 15 league goals and seven assists helped the club win the 2018/19 Portuguese title. In April 2019, he became the youngest player to score a UEFA Europa League hat-trick, against Eintracht Frankfurt. That year also brought a move to Atlético Madrid and the Golden Boy award.
Across clubs and countries.
João won La Liga with Atlético and later played for Chelsea, Barcelona and AC Milan. He made his Portugal debut in June 2019. In July 2025, he joined Al Nassr, where a hat-trick on his league debut began a campaign that ended with a league title and the Player of the Season award.
Beyond matchday.
His Mizuno partnership includes football boots, lifestyle footwear, clothing and feedback on product development. He also appeared in the brand’s 2025 lifestyle collection campaign. Fans can follow his football journey on Instagram at @joaofelix79.
