Club Career

Goncalves started his youth football with Concordia Basel. In 2009 he transferred to Basel and played in their U-16 and U-18 team and a year and a half in their U-21 team before he signed a three-year professional contract and joined their first team. Goncalves played his first team debut in the Swiss Cup 0–4 away win on 23 August 2014 against CS Italien. In January 2015 it was announced that Goncalves would be lent out to Wil to gain first team playing experience. After six months Wil took advantage of an option in the contract and took Goncalves over definitively for nearly CHF 200'000.00.

On the 15 August 2016 Goncalves transferred to Xamax under trainer Michel Decastel, but despite 15 games in their first team he never became happy there. On 5 July 2017 he transferred back to Wil.
