Covilhã for the Segunda Liga.[1] On 3 October of the same year, the week after finding the net against Chelsea for the UEFA Youth League (3–3 group stage home draw),[2] he scored his first league goal, helping the visitors defeat S.C. Olhanense 2–0.[3]

On 12 June 2018, Macedo renewed his contract with Porto until 2020.[7] In December, he went on loan to G.D. Chaves of the Primeira Liga.[8]
