Luciano triples his assists compared to 2024, chasing São Paulo record | OneFootball

Luciano is having a standout season as a forward at São Paulo. In 2025, the forward has already accumulated six assists, a number that is triple compared to 2024, when he distributed only two throughout the year.

This performance gains even more relevance due to the fact that the current season is not yet over. Thus, the number 10 has a great chance of reaching his best career mark in assists.

So far, the most productive years in this regard were 2020, with seven assists, and 2023, when he reached eight, his record to date.

The evolution of Luciano becomes even more important in light of the absence of André Silva, the top scorer and main offensive name of Tricolor in 2025, who is out for the rest of the season due to a posterior cruciate ligament injury and an anterior cruciate strain.

With André out, Luciano gains prominence to lead the attack and become a central figure in the team's decisive moments, both in the Brasileirão and in the Libertadores. Besides the individual aspect, Luciano's creative phase is crucial to maintaining São Paulo's offensive power in a decisive season.

The forward is considered an undisputed starter in Hernán Crespo's scheme and is expected to be on the field next Sunday (09/14), against Botafogo, at Morumbi, for the Brazilian Championship, a match that precedes the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals against LDU in Quito.
