On 2 July 2018, after being a regular starter in the Campeonato Paulista Série A2, João Lopes was loaned to Portuguese Primeira Liga side Santa Clara for one year,[4] while also renewing his contract with Lusa until 2021.[5] A backup to Marco Pereira, he made his debut abroad on 27 April 2019, starting in a 0–0 home draw against Vitória de Setúbal.[6]

On 5 July 2019, João Lopes' loan to Santa Clara was extended for a further season;[7] his contract with Portuguesa was also extended until 2022.[8] The following 19 January, after being demoted to third-choice after the arrival of André Ferreira, he terminated his loan deal.[9]
