Lucas signs first professional contract with Fluminense | OneFootball

Defender Lucas, just 16 years old, signed his first professional contract with Fluminense this Thursday (07/30) at the Vale das Laranjeiras Training Center in Xerém. A starter in the 2-1 win over Flamengo this Wednesday (07/29) at Gávea, in the first leg of the Under-16 Copa Rio final, the

player had his deal renewed until July 2029.

“It’s an incredible and indescribable feeling. Not even in my wildest dreams did I imagine signing my first professional contract at 16. With my family by my side, it’s even better. Every Xerém youngster dreams of making it to the club’s first team, but first you have to work very hard in the youth ranks. I hope to win many titles, move up and, God willing, have a beautiful career here at Fluminense,” said the defender.
