Lucas Estella Perri (born 10 December 1997) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Ligue 1 club Lyon.
Formed at São Paulo, he did not make his senior debut until the age of 22 and played rarely, also having loans to Crystal Palace in England where he did not play at all, and Náutico where he won the Campeonato Pernambucano and played in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B in 2022. In August that year he signed for Botafogo, where he became a regular in Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. He signed for Lyon in January 2024.
Club career
[edit]São Paulo
[edit]Born in Campinas, São Paulo state, Perri began his career at Ponte Preta. In 2013 he joined São Paulo FC in a transfer that saw the club face accusations of an improper approach.[1] 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.[1]
In January 2019, Perri was loaned to Crystal Palace of the English Premier League until the end of the season.[2] The move was facilitated by the player's possession of an Italian passport through his ancestry.[3] 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.[4]
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.[5] 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.[6] 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.[7] First-choice, he won the Campeonato Pernambucano, defeating Retrô on penalties in the final.[8] 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.[9]
Botafogo
[edit]On 17 August 2022, Perri signed for Botafogo in the top flight until the end of 2025.[10] He was initially back-up to Gatito Fernández, but was chosen by manager Luís Castro when the Paraguayan veteran suffered an injury in November.[11]
Lyon
[edit]On 5 January 2024, Perri signed for Ligue 1 club Lyon on a contract until 30 June 2028.[12] Botafogo received a transfer fee of €3.25 million, in addition to a sell-on clause of 50%.[13]
Perri was back-up to veteran Anthony Lopes in the league season, and made his debut on 7 February 2024 in the last 16 of the Coupe de France, a 2–1 home win over Lille.[14] He remained in goal for the rest of the cup run, which ended with a 2–1 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the final.[15][16]
International career
[edit]In September 2023, Perri received his first call-up to the Brazil national team for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification games against Bolivia and Peru.[17]
