Lucas Eduardo Ribeiro de Souza (born 16 June 2000), commonly known as Edu, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a centre-back for Goiás, on loan from Athletico Paranaense.

Club career

Cruzeiro

Born in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Edu was a Cruzeiro youth graduate. In June 2019, he was called up to the main squad by manager Mano Menezes, after the club sold Murilo Cerqueira to FC Lokomotiv Moscow.[1]

Edu made his professional debut on 22 January 2020, replacing Jadsom in the 58th minute of a 2–0 Campeonato Mineiro home win against Boa Esporte.[2] He scored his first senior goal on 13 February, netting his team's first in a 2–2 away draw against São Raimundo-RR, for the year's Copa do Brasil; he was also sent off in that match.

Athletico Paranaense

On 5 June 2020, Edu joined Série A side Athletico Paranaense on a four-year deal,[3] as a replacement to OGC Nice-bound Robson Bambu.
