LUCAS RODRIGUES MOURA DA SILVA
*São Paulo (State of São Paulo),
August 13, 1992
Physically fast and strong, Lucas took off
in soccer in a dispute of 2010 Copa São Paulo de
Futebol Júnior, when he was one of the pillars of
the conquest of São Paulo Futebol Clube. From that
moment on, he was a constant figure in the main
team of Morumbi, and little by little he won the
demanding supporters of São Paulo, becoming an
idol due to his good soccer and charisma.
Midfielder who plays on the sides of the field, he was never a goalscorer, but in a
short time he was already the main player at São Paulo, with constant convocations to the
Brazilian Soccer Team. He drew attention of the European soccer, and at the end of 2012 he
was transferred to Paris Saint-Germain, France, for incredible US$ 50 million.
Lucas is a big fan of sun and beaches, and he does not dismiss a soccer match on the
sand. But he likes the excitement of the capital as well, mainly the nightlife. “São Paulo does
not fall behind with any place else in the world,” assures the star. Whenever he is in the city,
Lucas goes to steakhouses and theaters, especially to see comedy plays.
In the countryside of the State, Lucas has good memories of his childhood in both
towns: Campos do Jordão and Mongaguá. “Every end of year, my family and I used to go to
Mongaguá, with the full house, Pagode [a subgenre of Samba] and barbecue,” he remembers.
