Club career[edit]

Bahia[edit]

Born in Cachoeiro do Itapemirim, Espírito Santo, Juninho finished his formation with Bahia.[1] He made his first team debut on 7 November 2015, starting in a 2–1 home loss against Santa Cruz for the Série B championship.[2]

Juninho did not feature in any league matches during the 2016 campaign, which ended in promotion, and mainly appeared for the under-20 squad.[3] Ahead of the 2017 season, he faced competition with new signings Matheus Reis and Pablo Armero, starting the year as a third-choice.

Juninho made his Série A debut on 6 August 2017, coming on as a second-half substitute for Armero in a 2–1 home win against São Paulo.[4] He finished the tournament with 17 appearances, being an undisputed starter during the final stages.

Corinthians[edit]

On 5 January 2018, Juninho signed a four-year contract with Corinthians, mainly as a replacement to Sevilla-bound Guilherme Arana.[5]

Grêmio[edit]

Juninho was loaned out to Grêmio in July 2018 for a fee of 1.3 millioner euros. On 16 May 2019, the deal was turned permanent.[6]
