Club career

Flamengo

After figuring on the bench on 16 October 2020, João Gomes made his first debut on 1 November 2020, starting for Flamengo in the Série A at a 4–1 home defeat against São Paulo.

Wolverhampton Wanderers

Gomes with Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2024.

On 30 January 2023, João Gomes signed for Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League for €18.7 million, after a drawn out battle between Wolves and Ligue 1 club Lyon for his signature.

Gomes scored the winning goal in a 2–1 comeback victory for Wolves at Southampton in the Premier League on his debut appearance for the club (as a second-half substitute) on 11 February 2023 – this despite Wolves being reduced to ten men after a Mario Lemina red card in the first half.

Gomes was sent off after only nine minutes of his debut appearance in the FA Cup away to Brentford on 5 January 2024.

Gomes scored his second and third goals for Wolves (his first in just over a year, and first of the 2023–24 season) in the same game, giving his team a 2–1 away victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on 17 February 2024.

Gomes's first goal of the 2024–25 season salvaged a point for Wolves in a 2–2 draw at Molineux versus Crystal Palace on 2 November 2024. Gomes then scored Wolves second goal in a 4–1 win against Fulham as the club moved out of the relegation zone for the first time all season. On 1 April 2025, Gomes signed a new five-year contract with Wolverhampton, with the option of a further year.
