Giovani Henrique Amorim da Silva (born 1 January 2004), simply known as Giovani, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Qatari club Al Sadd.

Club career

Born in Itaquaquecetuba, São Paulo, Giovani joined Palmeiras' youth setup in 2014, aged ten. In September 2020, aged just 16, he was included in the main squad's 50-men list for the 2020 Copa Libertadores.

Giovani made his first team debut on 3 March 2021, coming on as a late substitute for Gustavo Scarpa in a 2–2 Campeonato Paulista away draw against Corinthians. On 1 June, he renewed his contract until 2024. Giovani made his Série A debut on 30 November 2021, starting and scoring his team's second in a 3–1 away win over Cuiabá.

On 27 June 2023, Giovani joined Qatar Stars League club Al Sadd on a five-year contract for a fee reported to be around €9 million. With just under a month at the club, Giovani suffered a significant setback, sustaining a torn cruciate ligament and cartilage injury during a recent friendly match against Raja CA of Morocco, with an estimated recovery time of 8 to 9 months before returning to the field."
