Lucas Veríssimo in action for Santos in 2016

Born in Jundiaí, São Paulo, Lucas Veríssimo started his career at José Bonifácio's youth categories. He subsequently moved to Linense, being promoted to the main squad of the latter in January 2013.[1]

Shortly after being promoted to Linense's first team, Lucas Veríssimo joined Santos, being initially assigned to the youth setup.[2] On 26 March 2015 he renewed his link, signing until April 2017.[3]

On 28 November 2015, proffiting from Paulo Ricardo's suspension, Lucas Veríssimo was called up by manager Dorival Júnior for a Série A match against Vasco da Gama,[4] but remained an unused substitute in the 0–1 away loss.

On 30 December 2015 Lucas Veríssimo was definitely promoted to the first team, due to squad shortage.[5] He made his senior debut on 23 January of the following year, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–2 friendly draw at Bahia.

Lucas Veríssimo made his professional debut on 30 January 2016, starting in a 1–1 Campeonato Paulista home draw against São Bernardo.[6] On 2 March, after being a regular starter, he renewed his contract until December 2019.[7]

After David Braz's return from injury and the signing of Luiz Felipe, Lucas Veríssimo was demoted to fourth choice at the club. He only made his Série A debut on 14 September 2016, coming on as a late substitute for Lucas Lima in a 1–0 away win against Botafogo.[8]
