John Victor Maciel Furtado (born 13 February 1996), simply known as John (Brazilian Portuguese: [ˈʒon]), is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Botafogo.
Club career[edit]
Santos[edit]
Beginnings[edit]
Born in Diadema, São Paulo, John joined Santos' youth setup in February 2011 at the age of 15, after starting out at São Paulo FC.[1] In 2015, with the departure of Aranha, he was called up to train with the first team in some occasions.[2]
On 20 January 2016, John renewed his contract with Peixe until 2021, being definitely promoted to the main squad as a third choice behind Vanderlei and Vladimir.[3] He made his unofficial first team debut on 8 October, playing 25 minutes in a 1–1 friendly draw against Benfica.[4]
Loan to Portuguesa Santista[edit]
On 11 December 2018, John was loaned to Portuguesa Santista for the 2019 season.[5] He was an undisputed starter during the 2019 Campeonato Paulista Série A2 before returning to his parent club.
Breakthrough[edit]
On 13 December 2019, John further extended his contract with Santos until December 2023.[6] Initially a fourth-choice behind Everson, Vladimir and João Paulo at the start of the 2020 campaign, he became a second-choice after Everson left and Vladimir was sidelined due to an injury.[7]
John made his official – and Série A – debut for Santos on 14 November 2020, starting and keeping a clean sheet in a 2–0 home win against Internacional.[8] He made his Copa Libertadores debut ten days later, playing the full 90 minutes and making several key stops in a 2–1 away success over LDU Quito.[9]
On 8 January 2021, John and teammate Wagner Leonardo tested positive for COVID-19.[10] Upon returning, he shared the starting spot with João Paulo before suffering a knee injury in August.[11]
After being fully recovered, John spent the 2022 campaign as a backup to undisputed starter João Paulo,[12] playing in just two matches during the year.
Loan to Internacional[edit]
On 18 January 2023, Santos announced the loan of John to fellow top tier club Internacional until the end of the year; he also renewed his contract with his parent club until the end of 2025.[13]
Loan to Valladolid[edit]
On 20 August 2023, John was officially announced by Real Valladolid in the Spanish Segunda División, on loan for one year with a buyout clause.[14] An initial backup to Jordi Masip, he was a starter between the months of September and October before returning to the bench.
Botafogo[edit]
On 4 January 2024, Santos announced the transfer of John to Botafogo,[15] with the player signing a four-year deal for a rumoured fee of € 1.5 million for 85% of his federative rights.[16]
At the presentation press conference, the goalkeeper rejected comparisons with Lucas Perri, Botafogo's goalkeeper in 2023.[17]
In February, John suffered a muscle injury in the match against Nova Iguaçu, in the Campeonato Carioca, and was replaced by Gatito Fernández.[18] The goalkeeper had already missed the start of Glorioso's campaign in the Campeonato Carioca due to a muscle injury. John has a recent history of this type of injury in his career.[19]
Recovered from the muscle problem that took him out of time for around two months,[20] John was reported in Botafogo's debut in the Libertadores group stage, in the match against Junior Barranquilla, April 3, 2024, at the Nilton Santos Stadium.[21]
