Luan Madson Gedeão de Paiva, simply known as Luan, (born 11 August 1990) is a Brazilian footballer who currently plays for Atlético Mineiro as a forward.
Club career
Born in São Miguel dos Campos, Alagoas, Luan graduated from Atlético Sorocaba's youth setup, and made his senior debuts in 2008, as his side was crowned champions of Copa Paulista.[1] During his spell at the club he was also the top scorer of both 2011 and 2012 Campeonato Paulista Série A2 campaigns, scoring 25 goals combined.
In July 2011 Luan was a part of Comercial de Ribeirão Preto squad for the club's tour in Europe. He impressed during his time, and was offered a trial at FC Basel; however, the latter and Atlético Sorocaba failed to reach an agreement, and he returned to Brazil.[2] On 1 June 2012 he was loaned to Ponte Preta until December.[3]
Luan made his Ponte – and Série A – debut on 8 July 2013, coming on as a late substitute in a 1–0 home win against Palmeiras.[4] He scored his first professional goal on 14 October, netting the first of a 1–2 away loss against Fluminense.[5]
On 4 December 2012, the Campinas club bought 40% of Luan's rights from Atlético Sorocaba, for R$ 1.2 million.[6] Four days later, however, he signed a four-year deal with Atlético Mineiro.[7]
Luan became an important figure for Galo after Bernard's departure to FC Shakhtar Donetsk, appearing regularly. He was an important offensive unit for the club during the 2013 Copa Libertadores championship, used mainly as a substitute.
