Luan scored his first goal in the main category of Brazilian football on 17 August 2014, netting the first through a penalty in a 2–0 home success over Criciúma.[8] He scored three more goals in the campaign, also appearing in the year's Copa Libertadores.
On 29 March 2015, Luan scored all goals in a 2–0 home win against São Paulo-RS.[9] In the year's Brasileirão, he scored ten goals to help his side finish third; highlights included braces against fierce rivals Internacional (5–0 home win)[10] and Palmeiras (2–3 away loss).[11]
On 30 November 2015 Luan was included in the year's Brasileirão Team of the Year, being the tournament's best forward alongside Santos' Ricardo Oliveira.[12]
