The midfielder’s contract with Santos expired at the end of January but the transfer to Ajax was delayed with the Brazilian side believing they were still entitled a fee.
Ajax appealed to FIFA to intervene and they have now confirmed that Giovanni can be registered as a player in Amsterdam with immediate effect.
The 18-year-old joins Ajax on a contract until 2024 and will initially join up with the Jong Ajax squad.
