Lucas Evangelista Santana de Oliveira (born 6 May 1995) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Red Bull Bragantino.

Club career

[edit]

Desportivo Brasil

[edit]

Born in Limeira, São Paulo, Evangelista began his career with the youth sides of São Paulo FC at the age of 11, as a centre-back.[1] In 2009, aged 14, he was released after failing to receive a place in the club's youth accommodations, and moved to Desportivo Brasil's youth sides.[2]

In March 2012, Evangelista joined Manchester United on a trial basis, as both clubs had a partnership agreement,[3] but the deal later fell through.[4] He made his first team debut on 19 May of that year, starting in a 1–0 Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divisão away win over Primavera.

São Paulo

[edit]

On 20 September 2012, Desportivo Brasil announced Evangelista's return to São Paulo on a loan deal;[5] the club also bought 30% of his economic rights for a fee of R$ 1 million. In May 2013, the club's president Juvenal Juvêncio and head coach Ney Franco, promoted him and a further three players from the under-20s to the senior squad to replace seven players separated from the squad.[6]

Evangelista made his first team – and Série A – debut on 2 June 2013, starting in a 0–0 away draw against Atlético Mineiro.[7] He scored his first professional goal on 11 August, netting the equalizer in a 2–1 loss at Portuguesa. Evangelista lobbed the player marking him and shot to beat Portuguesa's goalkeeper Lauro, and dedicated the goal to his father (it was Father's Day in Brazil that day), Jesus.[8]

Evangelista ended his first senior year at the club with 23 appearances, being utilized in the left-back or as a forward aside from his natural position.[9] However, he started the 2014 season featuring rarely, and left the club in July after his loan expired.[10]

In August 2014, São Paulo bought another 30% of Evangelista's economic rights,[11] and subsequently sold him to Udinese for € 4 million, retaining € 2.4 million.[12]

Udinese Calcio

[edit]

Evangelista made his debut abroad on 19 October 2014, starting in a 1–0 away loss to Torino.[13] He scored his first goal for the club on 3 December, netting Udinese's third in a 4–2 home win over Cesena for the season's Coppa Italia.[14]

Loans to Panathinaikos and Estoril

[edit]

On 20 January 2016, after being rarely used, Evangelista moved to Panathinaikos for the rest of the season.[15][16] He played 11 matches for the side, scoring once.

On 28 June 2017, after one season again as a backup at Udinese, Evangelista was loaned to Primeira Liga side Estoril, for one year.[17] He became an undisputed starter for the side, being also included in the 33-man list for the best players of the season.[18]

Nantes

[edit]

On 27 July 2018, Evangelista joined Ligue 1 side Nantes on a five-year deal.[19] He started the season as a first-choice, but eventually lost his space.

Loan to Vitória de Guimarães

[edit]

On 23 August 2019, Evangelista returned to Portugal after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with Vitória de Guimarães, with a buyout clause.[20] On 2 July 2020, despite the league's date extension, his loan was cut short.[21]

Red Bull Bragantino

[edit]

On 10 August 2020, Evangelista returned to Brazil after signing a one-year loan deal with Red Bull Bragantino.[22] On 28 June 2021, the club announced that they exercised his buyout clause, with the player signing a contract until 2026.[23]

Evangelista suffered a thigh injury in August 2021, being sidelined for seven months.[24] He reached 200 matches for the club on 6 December, in a 2–1 away win over Athletico Paranaense.[25]
