He joined from AC Milan, having signed with the Rossoneri from Flamengo in the summer of 2018. The native of Rio de Janeiro struggled to adapt in his two seasons in Italy, but after a slow start in Lyon, he became a key piece for Les Gones, he and compatriot Bruno Guimãres helping a push for the Ligue 1 title.
