Club career
[edit]Early career
[edit]Born in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, João Lucas had failed trials at Atlético Mineiro and Cruzeiro before joining Villa Nova's youth setup in 2015.[1] In 2016, he moved to Goiás, initially joining the under-17 team.
Ahead of the 2019 season, João Lucas signed for Bangu.[2][3] He made his senior debut on 22 February of that year, starting in a 2–0 Campeonato Carioca home loss against Fluminense.[4]
Flamengo
[edit]On 9 May 2019, Flamengo signed João Lucas from Bangu for an undisclosed fee.[5][6] Initially a backup to Rafinha, he made his club – and Série A – debut on 12 June, replacing Rodinei late into a 2–0 away win over CSA.
João Lucas scored his first goal for Flamengo on 25 January 2020, netting the equalizer in a 3–2 home win over Volta Redonda.[7] However, he lost space after the arrival of Mauricio Isla and the proeminence of Matheuzinho.
