Club career
Early career
Born in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, João Lucas had failed trials at Atlético Mineiro and Cruzeiro before joining Villa Nova's youth setup in 2015. In 2016, he moved to Goiás, initially joining the under-17 team.
Ahead of the 2019 season, João Lucas signed for Bangu. He made his senior debut on 22 February of that year, starting in a 2–0 Campeonato Carioca home loss against Fluminense.
Flamengo
On 9 May 2019, Flamengo signed João Lucas from Bangu for an undisclosed fee. Initially a backup to Rafinha, he made his club – and Série A – debut on 12 June, replacing Rodinei late into a 2–0 away win over CSA.
João Lucas scored his first goal for Flamengo on 25 January 2020, netting the equalizer in a 3–2 home win over Volta Redonda. However, he lost space after the arrival of Mauricio Isla and the proeminence of Matheuzinho.
