LUCAS LIMA has opened the door to a move away from Santos after revealing he’d
love to play for one of Europe’s top teams.
Real Madrid have scouted
the Brazil international on numerous occasions this season, and Zinedine
Zidane is reportedly ready to make a move.
However, a number of top teams are also believed to be interested in Lima’s
services following some outstanding performances in central midfield.
The 25-year-old has been named in Dunga’s 23-man squad for the Copa America
and could now round off his season with a big-money move abroad.
Real are keen to strike a deal but Lima has now revealed that he is also open
to joining former Premier League champions Chelsea as well as Barcelona and
Paris Saint-Germain.
: “I don’t want to leave for any club. I want to play
for a big team from Europe. There are many… Barcelona, Real Madrid, PSG,
Chelsea.”

Lima isn’t the only Santos player tipped for a summer switch, with striker
Gabriel ‘Gabigol’ Barbosa also being monitored by Real.
The player’s agent has
also held talks with PSG, and the ‘new Neymar’ could well find himself
replacing Zlatan Ibrahimovic at the Parc des Princes.
Wagner Ribeiro confirmed: “I have spoken a lot with [sporting director]
Olivier Letang. Now the French league is finished, they will take a look at
possible signings. Maybe Gabriel will be an option. It is a question of
time.”
