Club career

Flamengo

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Jorge joined Flamengo's youth setup in 2008, aged 11. He made his debut a senior on 16 March 2014, starting in a 2–2 Campeonato Carioca home draw against Bangu.[1]

On 26 September 2014, Jorge signed a new deal with Fla, until December 2017.[2] He was promoted to the main squad in 2015, by manager Vanderlei Luxemburgo.

Jorge made his Série A debut on 1 July 2015, starting in a 1–0 away win against Joinville.[3] He subsequently overtook new signing Pablo Armero as first-choice, and renewed his contract for a further two years on 6 September.[4]

Jorge scored his first top tier goal on 29 May 2016, netting the winner in a 2–1 success over Ponte Preta at the Estádio Moisés Lucarelli.[5] His second goal in the category came on 16 July, in a 3-3 derby against Botafogo.[6]

In September 2016, Brazilian press reported a possible Manchester City interest in signing Jorge. The English club would have begun to watch the left back after having excelled in the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup, being elected the best left-back of the competition.[7][8]

Monaco

On 26 January 2017, AS Monaco FC signed Jorge from Flamengo, after agreeing to a €8.5 million transfer fee for the player. This was the biggest transfer in Flamengo's history at that time.[9][10] After appearing rarely in his first six months, he became a regular starter during the 2017–18 campaign, replacing departed Benjamin Mendy.

Porto (loan)

On 31 August 2018, it was announced that Jorge would be loaned to Portuguese club FC Porto on a season-long deal with an option to buy.[11] A backup to compatriot Alex Telles, he featured rarely.

Santos (loan)

On 27 March 2019, Jorge returned to Brazil signing with Santos on loan until the end of the year.[12] He made his debut for the club on 4 April, starting in a 1–0 away loss against Atlético Goianiense, for the year's Copa do Brasil. He scored his first goal for the club on April 24th against CR Vasco da Gama on the same tournament.

Basel (loan)

On 2 October 2020, Jorge signed with FC Basel on loan until Summer 2021.

International career

On 19 January 2017, Jorge was called up to the Brazil national team for the first time to play a friendly match against Colombia.[13]
