Johnny's return to Fluminense comes after a stint at América-MG, where he played 13 games and provided one assist. The club is currently facing a difficult situation in the Série B and is on track to be relegated to the C series. Johnny's time at Fluminense has been marked by limited opportunities, with the defender playing only two games for the club before being sent out on loan to various teams, including Bragantino, Coritiba, Volta Redonda, and Noroeste. He has a contract with Fluminense until the end of 2027. Johnny participated in training with the team on Thursday, alongside Léo Jance, who also returned after being loaned to Náutico.
