Club career

Born in São Paulo, De Lucca started his career with Palmeiras, but announced his departure from the club in March 2020 after nearly five years in their youth setup.[1] In August of that year, he signed for Bahia and was initially assigned to the under-20s.[2]

After impressing in the under-20s and switching his position from central defender to defensive midfielder,[3] Patrick made his first team – and Série A debut on 13 February 2021, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Atlético Mineiro.[4] He was a starter in the subsequent two matches, as the club avoided relegation.

On 6 March 2021, now fully integrated to the main squad, De Lucca scored his first senior goal, netting a last-minute equalizer in a 1–1 Copa do Nordeste home draw against Botafogo da Paraíba.[5] On the 25th, he renewed his contract until December 2022.[6]
