Born in Itaquaquecetuba, São Paulo, Giovani joined Palmeiras' youth setup in 2014, aged ten.[2] In September 2020, aged just 16, he was included in the main squad's 50-men list for the 2020 Copa Libertadores.[3]
Giovani made his first team debut on 3 March 2021, coming on as a late substitute for Gustavo Scarpa in a 2–2 Campeonato Paulista away draw against Corinthians.[4] On 1 June, he renewed his contract until 2024.[5] Giovani made his Série A debut on 30 November 2021, starting and scoring his team's second in a 3–1 away win over Cuiabá.[6]
On 27 June 2023, Giovani joined Qatar Stars League club Al Sadd on a five-year contract for a fee reported to be around €9 million.[7] [8] With just under a month at the club, Giovani suffered a significant setback, sustaining a torn cruciate ligament and cartilage injury during a recent friendly match against Raja CA of Morocco, with an estimated recovery time of 8 to 9 months before returning to the field."[9] [10]
