João Mário Naval da Costa Eduardo started out at Sporting before made his senior debut for Portugal in 2014. He appeared for the nation at Euro 2016, winning the tournament alongside fellow Hammer Jose Fonte.
On 27 August 2016, Mário signed with Internazionale for €40million plus €5million in add-ons. Under new manager Luciano Spalletti, João Mário grew increasingly frustrated about the lack of playing time and signed on loan for West Ham in January 2018.
