Club career edit

After playing youth football with Udinese, Lugo moved to Colón de Santa Fe in the 2010 summer. After 1+12 seasons in Argentina, he returned to his homeland, joining Independiente de Campo Grande.[1]

After one season with the side Lugo moved to fellow second-divisioner Sportivo Carapeguá.[2] He was an important midfield unit during his six-month spell, netting three goals in 23 appearances.

On 7 September 2013 Lugo moved to Italian Serie B side Bari.[3] A day later he made his division debut, starting in a 2–3 loss at Siena.

On 18 December 2018 he was released from his Virtus Francavilla contract by mutual consent.[4] In 2019, he returned home to Paraguay and played for Club Nacional. However, in December 2019, Lugo moved to Italy again and signed with Serie D club Fidelis Andria.[5]
