Sporting CP

Born in Oeiras, Lisbon, Podence joined Sporting CP's youth system shortly before his 10th birthday, arriving from neighbouring Belenenses. On 3 February 2013, whilst still a junior, he made his senior debut, appearing for the former's reserves in a Segunda Liga match against Marítimo B after coming on as a late substitute for Bruma. Podence played his first official game for the first team on 29 December 2014, starting in a 2–0 away win over Vitória de Guimarães in the final stages of the Taça da Liga. He was then loaned to Moreirense in a season-long move. He made his debut in the Primeira Liga on 17 September 2016 in a 2–0 loss at Estoril, scoring his first goal in the competition on 29 October in another away fixture, against Tondela (a 2–1 victory). On 4 December 2016, his brace helped the hosts to a 3–1 win over Nacional, and he also made three appearances for the club in the League Cup campaign, which ended with them winning their first-ever trophy. In late January 2017, Podence was recalled by Sporting manager Jorge Jesus. He terminated his contract on 1 June 2018, following a violent attack on the players by a number of their own supporters.

On 9 July 2018, Podence joined Olympiacos on a five-year deal. His first competitive appearance took place on 9 August in a 4–0 home victory against Luzern in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League, and he scored his first goal later that month in a 1–1 draw at Burnley in the…

Podence scored in his first two appearances for the Portugal under-21 team, in October 2016 matches against Hungary (3–3) and Liechtenstein (7–1 rout) for the 2017 UEFA European Championship qualifying stage. Selected for the finals in Poland, he repeated the feat in the 4–2 group-phase victory over North Macedonia. In September 2019, Podence was called up to the senior squad for UEFA Euro 2020 qualifiers with Serbia and Lithuania. He made his debut 13 months later, playing 15 minutes in place of João Félix in a 3–0 home win against Sweden in the Nations League.
