The 23-year-old represented FC Pune City in 2016 edition, making 14 appearances for them.
Speaking on bringing back the Brazilian midfielder, FC Pune City CEO Gaurav Modwel said, "Lucca is a proven performer and a fan favourite too.

The Brazilian youngster began his career with local Brazilian club Internacional when he caught the eye of AS Roma. In his three-year stint with the Giallorossi, the midfielder scored nine goals in 32 appearances.
Expressing his excitement, Lucca said that he is looking forward to his second stint with FC Pune City.
