Jean Lucas graduated from Flamengo’s academy, but stood out as a professional for the first time in 2019, during a loan at Santos. He was later traded to European football and spent time at Lyon, Brest and Monaco, all in France.
Back at Peixe in 2023, there were 22 matches in the Brazilian Championship. The midfielder helped the team with three assists, but was unable to avoid relegation to the Second Division. The relegation is directly related to the departure of the midfielder, who receives one of the highest salaries in the squad.

- Games: 22 (all as a starter)
