Giovanni Manson Ribeiro (born 31 January 2002), simply known as Giovanni, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Kosovan club Ballkani.
Born in Bauru, São Paulo, Giovanni joined Santos FC's youth setup in 2012, aged ten.[1] After failing to agree on terms to a new contract, he left the club in May 2019, as his youth deal expired, and was subsequently linked to moves to Chelsea and AFC Ajax.[2]
On 25 February 2020, Ajax requested FIFA to intervene for the club on the transfer of Giovanni, who was at the time blocked by Santos.[3] On 4 March, after being given the clearance, he was announced by the club on a four-year contract, being initially assigned to the reserve team.[4]
Giovanni made his senior debut for Jong Ajax on 30 August 2020, starting in a 4–0 away loss against Roda JC.[5] On 11 September he scored his first senior goal, netting his team's only in a 2–1 loss at NEC Nijmegen.[6]
On 18 January 2022, Giovanni was loaned out to Telstar until the end of the season.[7] Coincidentally, he made his debut for the club against Jong Ajax on 23 January in a 1–0 home win.[8]
On 2 January 2023, Giovanni signed with Fluminense for the 2023 season, with an option to extend for 2024.[9]
