Lucas Vinícius Mufalo Silva (born 9 January 1998) is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a centre-back for São José-SP.
Career
Born in Campinas, São Paulo, Mufalo played for SEV Hortolândia and Bragantino as a youth. In June 2018, he signed for XV de Piracicaba to play in the year's Copa Paulista.[1]
After beginning the 2019 season at Grêmio Osasco, Mufalo subsequently moved to Caldense (initially on loan and later in a permanent deal), where he became a regular starter before suffering a knee injury in November 2020.[2] He spent more than a year sidelined before returning in January 2022,[3] and renewed his contract with the club in April.[4]
On 19 August 2022, Mufalo moved abroad for the first time in his career, agreeing to a contract with Portuguese Liga 3 side AD Fafe.[5] He left the club the following June, and joined Ponte Preta shortly after, but only played for an under-23 side in the Copa Paulista.
On 11 December 2023, Mufalo was announced at Pouso Alegre for the upcoming season.[6] He later moved to São Caetano, but had his contract rescinded in September due to indiscipline problems.[7]
Mufalo agreed to a deal with Sertãozinho in December 2024, and won the 2025 Campeonato Paulista Série A3 before moving to Mamoré in June of that year.[8] He then played for União São João before being announced at São José-SP on 26 November.[9]
