Lucas Lima’s agent Wagner Ribeiro says that his client is subject of serious interest from a club in China. Lima turned down a lucrative move to Hebei Fortune in January, in hope that a move to Europe would materialise.

However, Lima ended up staying with Santos, but Wagner now suggests that Lima has an even bigger offer on the table from an unnamed Chinese club, “Lucas has a serious problem with Santos, who has only 10% of the rights.

“A Chinese club has an irrefutable proposal, which no club or player in the world could turn down. We should have news in the coming days or by the end of the year. It is an excellent proposition for the player. It’s unbeatable, something close to 20 million dollars a year, as Hulk, Lavezzi, Oscar earn.”

Lima would join compatriots such as Hulk, Ricardo Goulart, Renato Augusto, Ramires and Gil in China, where Chelsea’s Oscar is also headed in January, “I was with Lucas and he left me free to negotiate. He is 26 years old, has another good contract ahead of him and is sought after.

“Of course his dream is a top team in Europe. He had worried before, when he declined China in January, that he wouldn’t be called up for the Seleção. But now there are players called by Tite playing in China, it’s no problem in his head anymore. Let’s wait, his time is coming.”
