One of Santos’ highlights in 2015, playmaker Lucas Lima is wanted by clubs in China and Europe, but it’s still unclear whether he will stay at the Vila Belmiro for the upcoming season.
For now, only proposals from Chinese football have arrived, and at 25, the player ensures that his will is to play in Europe to keep his place in the Brazilian national team. Lucas Lima, who was the target of FC Porto during last summer, says he discussed with his father about the offers from China, but decided to keep alive the dream of playing in European football. He said: “I have a contract, and I am very calm about it. I have the dream of playing in Europe, but if it’s something good for me and for Santos. Some proposals came, but I will sit down with my family and settle. I am very happy at Santos. The things that I saw and analyzed were from China. I talked with my father, had one with a truckload of money that everyone knows, but it is not in my interest. As I said, I will discuss with my father. My desire has always been to get into the Brazilian national team and play in a big club in Europe.”
