Shortly after making his debut for Catanduvense, Luan moved to Grêmio and returned to youth football; he later had 50% of his federative rights bought for just R$ 300.000.[5] He was promoted to the first team in December 2013, mainly as a backup to Kléber and Hernán Barcos.[6]
Luan made his first team debut for Tricolor on 19 January 2014, starting in a 0–1 Campeonato Gaúcho away loss against São José. He scored first goal for the club ten days later, netting the equalizer in a 1–1 draw at Brasil de Pelotas.
Luan finished the tournament with 14 appearances and three goals, as his side finished second. He made his Série A debut on 27 April 2014, starting in a 2–1 home win against Atlético Mineiro.[7]
Luan scored his first goal in the main category of Brazilian football on 17 August 2014, netting the first through a penalty in a 2–0 home success over Criciúma.[8] He scored three more goals in the campaign, also appearing in the year's Copa Libertadores.
On 29 March 2015, Luan scored all goals in a 2–0 home win against São Paulo-RS.[9] In the year's Brasileirão, he scored ten goals to help his side finish third; highlights included braces against fierce rivals Internacional (5–0 home win)[10] and Palmeiras (2–3 away loss).[11]
On 30 November 2015 Luan was included in the year's Brasileirão Team of the Year, being the tournament's best forward alongside Santos' Ricardo Oliveira.[12]

In Brazil's quarter final clash with Colombia, Luan scored Brazil's second goal of the match in an eventual 2-0 win.
