On 14 July 2023, João Pedro joined Cruzeiro, being initially assigned to the under-20 squad.[4] He made his professional – and Série A – debut on 3 December, replacing Bruno Rodrigues late into a 0–0 away draw against Botafogo.[5] He scored his first goal, as a professional, in Cruzeiro's 2-1 victory over Villa Nova, in a match valid for the 2024 State League.
