Lucas Da Cunha, a French native, was born on 9 June 2001, thus settling him at a mature age of 24. Standing at 5ft 8in (1.74m) and weighing in at 10st 5lb (66kg), Da Cunha brings a sturdy presence to the middle of the park. This midfielder finds his primary position in the heart of the pitch for Como, where he dons the number 33 jersey.
With an approximate market value of £8.5m, according to Transfermarkt, da Cunha certainly holds his weight in the world of football finances. His commitment to Como is set to run until 30 June 2029, ensuring a lengthy stay with the club.
Da Cunha started his professional journey with Rennes in France during the 2019 - 2020 season, managing to sneak his way into the first team game twice that year. A move to Switzerland with Lausanne-Sport for the 2020 - 2021 season saw Da Cunha ascend dramatically, netting six goals in 27 appearances. He made his way back to France for the 2021 - 2022 season, first with Nice, making ten appearances, and subsequently with Clermont Foot, where he managed 15 appearances and scored two goals.
The lure of Italian football was too strong to resist, and in the 2022 – 2023 season, Da Cunha found himself in Como. Scoring twice in his first 14 appearances, the French midfielder began to find his rhythm. Consistent performance in the following two seasons, 2023 - 2024 and 2024 - 2025, saw him scoring seven and three goals and making 35 and 36 appearances respectively. He is also set to continue his adventure with Como in the 2025 - 2026 season, carving out a successful career in the heart of Italian football.
