Lucas Veríssimo in action for Santos in 2016

Born in Jundiaí, São Paulo, 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, 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 he 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.

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, 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]

Veríssimo made his Copa Libertadores debut on 16 March 2017, starting in a 2–0 home win against The Strongest.[9] He scored his first professional goal on 4 May, netting the winner in a 3–2 success over Independiente Santa Fe at the Pacaembu Stadium for the same competition.[10]

On 18 July 2017, after becoming a regular starter as both starters Gustavo Henrique and Luiz Felipe were injured, Veríssimo renewed his contract until June 2022.[11] He played his 100th match for the club the following 13 May, starting in a 3–1 home defeat of Paraná.[12]
