Luiz Marcelo Morais dos Reis (born 10 April 1990), commonly known as Lulinha, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder or winger for Liga 1 club Madura United.

Club career

Lulinha was born in Mauá, a Brazilian municipality in the São Paulo (state). He started as a futsal player before joining the Corinthians youth system at the age of 8. A prolific attacking midfielder, he helped the Brazilian U-17 national side to win the 2007 U-17 South-American Championship, scoring 12 goals in 7 matches. In 2007, he played in the Pan American Games and scored 3 goals in 3 games.

There was much speculation involving Lulinha's future, but at the end of 2007 he signed a new contract with his club Corinthians, committing himself to the club until 2012. Corinthian President Andres Sanchez added "To take him off Corinthians, the interested club would have to pay 35 million Euros (£24 million), and the player has 25 percent of his rights". After eleven years with Corinthians, on 23 July 2009 he joined Estoril Praia on loan for one year. On 9 August 2010, he joined Olhanense, on loan from Corinthians. Lulinha was loaned to Bahia until 1 July 2012.

On 28 April 2015, Lulinha joined Botafogo.

International career

From 2007 until 2008, Lulinha was a member of the Brazil U-17 national squad. He has represented Brazil U-17s 10 times, scoring 16 goals. He played for Brazil at the 2007 Under-17 World Cup.
