Lucas arrived to very young Europe, just 17 years old, from the River Plate Buenosairean. He was signed by Monaco for 13 million to lend it to Marseille three and a half seasons later, in the winter of 2015. That summer, the Olympique bought the footballer and later yielded a campaign to the Genoa Italian. Half a year later he went to Milan, where he would certainly coincide with Suso. After being important for two seasons at the Côte d'Azur club, Monchi decided to bet on him, very wisely.
