Luan Vieira

Early career

Luan was born in São José do Rio Preto, São Paulo. After starting it out at futsal and playing for amateur clubs in his native state, he joined Tanabi. Luan scored two goals in nine appearances for Tanabi, being also a teammate of Túlio Maravilha. He subsequently represented his hometown club América-SP in 2013 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, while still owned by Tanabi. On 8 February 2013, Luan joined Catanduvense until the end of the year, for a fee of R$120,000. He made his maiden appearance for the club eight days later, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–3 home loss against Santo André.

Grêmio

Shortly after making his debut for Catanduvense, Luan moved to Grêmio and returned to youth football; he later had 50% of his federative rights bought for just R$ 300,000. He was promoted to the first team in December 2013, mainly as a backup to Kléber and Hernán Barcos. Luan made his first team debut for Tricolor on 19 January 2014, starting in a 0–1 Campeonato Gaúcho away loss against São José. His debut club goal was ten days later, netting the equalizer in a 1–1 draw at Brasil de Pelotas. Luan finished the tournament with 14 appearances and three goals, as his side finished second. He made his Série A debut on 27 April 2014, starting in a 2–1 home win against Atlético Mineiro. Luan scored his first goal in the Brazilian football top division on 17 August 2014, netting the first through a penalty in a 2–0 home success over Criciúma.…

Luan was named in Brazil's provisional squad for Copa América Centenario but was cut from the final squad. Later in the season, he was selected as a member of Brazil's squad for the 2016 Summer Olympics. In Brazil's quarter final clash with Colombia, Luan scored the second goal of the match in an eventual 2–0 win, and finished the tournament as a starter. On 26 January 2017, he made his full international debut, replacing Diego Souza in a 1–0 friendly win against Colombia.
