Club career
Born in Caieiras, São Paulo, Gabriel Lacerda began his career with Palmeiras in 2013. He served a loan stint at Figueirense in 2017,[2] and moved to Atlético Mineiro in September 2018;[3] the move later collapsed after he suffered a knee injury.
On 30 May 2019, Gabriel Lacerda agreed to a contract with Ceará, as his link with Palmeiras was due to expire.[4] Initially assigned to the under-20s, he made his professional debut on 13 August 2020, starting in a 1–1 Série A home draw with Grêmio.[1][5]
Loan to Sydney FC
A few days after his compatriot Fabio Gomes signed for Sydney, it was announced that Lacerda would also be signing for the Australian club, making his first move outside his Brazilian homeland. Lacerda would take the #15 jersey, which had not been worn at Sydney since the retirement of hall of fame member Terry McFlynn, with Lacerda stating that the number 15 was special to him as it's the number of his fathers birthday.[6] Despite making over 20 appearances in the league for the harbourside club, Lacerda's loan was not extended at the end of the season.[7]
