Early career

Born in Bauru, São Paulo, JP Chermont joined Santos' youth setup in 2018, from hometown side Noroeste.[1] On 21 November 2022, he signed his first professional contract with the club, after agreeing to a three-year deal.[2][3]

2024 season

On 21 February 2024, JP Chermont was registered in the first team squad for the 2024 Campeonato Paulista.[4] He made his professional debut on 9 March, coming on as a second-half substitute for Felipe Jonatan in a 3–2 home win over Inter de Limeira.[5][6]

JP Chermont scored his first professional goal on 26 April 2024, netting the opener in a 2–0 Série B away win over Avaí.[7] On 27 June, he renewed his contract with the club until December 2027,[8] and finished the 2024 season with two goals in 36 appearances overall, featuring more than Aderlan and Rodrigo Ferreira, as the club achieved promotion to the Série A as champions.

2025 season

After starting the 2025 campaign as a first-choice ahead of new signing Leonardo Godoy, Chermont made his top tier debut on 30 March of that year, playing the full 90 minutes of a 2–1 away loss to Vasco da Gama, but lost his starting spot soon after.[9] After the arrivals of Igor Vinícius and Mayke, he was demoted to third-choice and subsequently returned to play for the under-20 squad.[10]

Loan to Coritiba

On 23 February 2026, after still remaining as a third-choice, Chermont was announced at fellow top tier side Coritiba on loan until the end of the year.[11]

International career

In September 2022, JP Chermont was called up to the Brazil national under-17 team for a training period aiming the 2023 South American U-17 Championship,[12] which he was included in the 23-man squad on 8 March 2023.[13] He was a regular starter as the nation lifted the trophy.

On 17 May 2024, Chermont and Santos teammates Jair and Souza were called up to the Brazil national under-20 team for a period of trainings.[14] On 20 December, he was included in the squad for the 2025 South American U-20 Championship,[15] but withdrew from the squad on 7 January 2025.[16]

Personal life

JP Chermont is a second cousin to former sports journalist Victorino Chermont, who died in the LaMia Flight 2933 crash in 2016.[17]
