Luiz Araújo is a Brazilian winger and attacking midfielder, known for his explosive pace, dribbling at speed, and strong finishing, capable of playing both wide on the flanks and more centrally in the attacking sector. Born in 1996, he came through the youth ranks of São Paulo FC, where he stood out in the academy and earned his first professional opportunities, quickly catching attention for his ability to break through defenses with individual plays.

After establishing himself in Brazil, Luiz moved to Europe, signing with Lille OSC in 2017. In French football, he refined his tactical awareness and adapted to a more physical and structured style of play. His seasons at Lille were marked by consistent performances, decisive assists, and important goals, helping the team in solid Ligue 1 campaigns.

Later in 2021, he had a spell with Atlanta United in Major League Soccer (MLS), where he became an important figure in the attacking sector. In the North American league, he maintained his incisive playing style, exploiting space and contributing both in chance creation and finishing.

In 2023, he returned to Brazil to join Flamengo, signed to strengthen the squad with his versatility and international experience. Although alternating between starting roles and coming off the bench, Luiz Araújo proved to be a valuable rotation player, bringing speed and unpredictability to the attack.
