King of America in 2017, the forward had disappointing stints at Corinthians, Santos, Grêmio, and Vitória.
Luan has not yet decided about his career. King of America and Libertadores champion in 2017, the forward has struggled to replicate the excellent performances from that magical year, with disappointing stints at Corinthians, Vitória, Santos, and Grêmio. Despite numerous inquiries from clubs in Series A, B, and C, as well as alternative markets abroad, the player is considering retiring at 31 years old.

Although there have been offers, Luan is not convinced that continuing in football is a good idea. Since 2022, he has played just 22 official matches, and the expectation for performances similar to those in 2017 weighs heavily on him. The last time he played was on March 27 against Treze-PB in the Northeast Cup. On that occasion, he played 69 minutes as a starter. After that, he was called up two more times before leaving Vitória.
Living quietly in recent months – though he still attends parties and events in São Paulo – Luan prefers to play for teams competing in the São Paulo Championship or Série A. This is because, originally from São José do Rio Preto, he maintains friendships and spends a lot of time in the city since his career took off.
Two teams that stand out as good options are Mirassol, which secured promotion to the top division for the first time in its history, and Novorizontino, which came very close to promotion in the past two seasons and could soon be among the top 20 teams in the country.
Luan began his career in the youth ranks of teams from São Paulo’s interior before catching the attention of Grêmio after playing in the Copa São Paulo de Futebol Jr. At the southern club, he played for the U-20 team before being promoted to the senior squad, where he played for six consecutive seasons. During this time, he won the 2016 Copa do Brasil, the Gauchão titles in 2018 and 2019, the 2017 Libertadores (where he was the tournament’s standout player), and the Recopa Sudamericana.
