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.

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

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

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

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.

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. 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.
