Lucas Perri

São Paulo

Born in Campinas, São Paulo, Perri began his career at Ponte Preta. In 2013, he joined São Paulo in a transfer that saw the club face accusations of an improper approach. In March 2015, 17-year-old Perri began training with the first team when Denis, the back-up to veteran goalkeeper Rogério Ceni, suffered a right-shoulder injury with a prognosis of six months.

In January 2019, Perri was loaned to Crystal Palace of the English Premier League until the end of the season. The move was facilitated by the player's possession of an Italian passport through his ancestry. He was completely unused by manager Roy Hodgson, who did not take up the option to make the deal permanent by purchasing 80% of his economic rights for €4.5 million; he was then linked to Sporting CP of Portugal and Galatasaray in Turkey.

Perri did not make his debut until 8 December 2019, when on the last day of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A season, he played the entirety of a 2–1 win at relegated CSA. Having just turned 22, he completed his childhood dream of representing the club. Excluding games for the under-20 team in the Copa Paulista, he played only nine times for the Tricolor, including 30 minutes on 11 March 2020 in a 3–0 home win over LDU Quito in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores when Tiago Volpi injured his hand. He played three games in the Campeonato Paulista in 2021 as his team lifted the title.

For the year 2022, Perri was loaned to Náutico. First-choice, he won the Campeonato Pernambucano, defeating Retrô on penalties in the final. On 26 June, in a Campeonato Brasileiro Série B game away to Tombense, he was sent off early in the second half and the opposition drew the game 1–1 with a penalty in added time.
