Derby boost: Lucas Ramon secures São Paulo right-back spot | OneFootball

The São Paulo team had a pleasant surprise at the start of the season. It is Lucas Ramon who, even with little time at the club, has already taken on the starting position as right-back and has been one of the standout players since he was signed from Mirassol at the beginning of February.

So far, the 32-year-old athlete has completed seven matches for the Tricolor, six of them as a starter. He has already scored one goal and provided one assist for the São Paulo team, and according to Sofascore, he has the second-best average rating on the team for the 2026 season with a score of 7.10.

In his initial matches, he already has a 32% success rate in crosses and a 57% success rate in duels. Additionally, the right-back has not recorded any major defensive errors.

Lucas Ramon also has 16 tackles, 10 interceptions, and 40 defensive actions since joining São Paulo.

His performance secured him the starting position in a highly contested spot at São Paulo, as Cédric Soares and Maik had not taken advantage of their opportunities to secure the position. Even with the return of João Moreira, who was on loan to Porto, Lucas Ramon is unlikely to lose his spot.

Reinforcement for the Derby

Absent for Roger Machado against Atlético-MG last Wednesday, when he was rested due to physical fatigue, Lucas Ramon trained with the squad this Friday and will be available for the derby against Palmeiras this Saturday.
