Career
[edit]Early career
[edit]Born and raised in Jabaquara, a district of São Paulo, Lucas Pires started his career with the futsal team of Nacional-SP at the age of just six.[2] He then moved to the futsal team of Santos at the age of eight,[3] and later joined Corinthians' youth setup,[4] where he spent 13 years.
On 17 July 2017, Lucas Pires signed his first professional contract with Corinthians.[5] He represented the under-17, under-20 and under-23 squads at the club, but failed to make a breakthrough in the first team. On 10 July 2021, after failing to agree new terms, he terminated his contract, which was due to expire in September.[6]
Santos

On 20 July 2021, Lucas Pires signed a three-year deal with Santos, being initially assigned to the under-23s.[7] The following 31 January, after impressing in the 2022 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, he was definitely promoted to the first team.[8]
Lucas Pires made his professional debut on 2 February 2022, coming on as a second-half substitute for Felipe Jonatan in a 2–1 Campeonato Paulista away win over former side Corinthians.[9] He made his Série A debut on 9 April, playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–0 away draw against Fluminense.[10]
On 31 May 2022, after establishing himself as a starter, Lucas Pires renewed his contract until May 2026.[11] On 27 June 2023, he was fined 50% of his wages and separated from the first team squad due to disciplinary reasons, being also transfer-listed by the club.[12]
Loan to Cádiz
[edit]On 25 July 2023, Pires joined La Liga side Cádiz CF on loan for the 2023–24 season.[13] He made his debut abroad on 14 August, replacing Javi Hernández in a 1–0 home win over Deportivo Alavés.[14]
Pires scored his first professional goal on 1 October 2023, netting the opener in a 3–2 away loss to Atlético Madrid.[15]
Burnley
[edit]On 3 July 2024, Pires was transferred to EFL Championship side Burnley in a deal worth £1.9m. This move marks one of Burley's first signings since being relegated from the Premier League following the league's 2023–24 season.[16]
