Santos announce Lima on loan from Fluminense until end of 2026 | OneFootball

Santos officially announced Lima’s arrival this Friday (4). The midfielder, who belongs to Fluminense, will play for the São Paulo club on loan until the end of the season. The deal comes after the player left América-MEX, where he had been on loan from Tricolor.

According to journalist Wilson Fort, from Central Fluminense, the operation does not involve any payment from Santos to Fluminense. Tricolor also will not bear any costs for the player’s wages during the loan spell. To complete the transfer, Lima agreed to reduce his own salary. The club change comes after the midfielder lost space at América-MEX. Lima had opportunities at the start of the season and played between February and May, but was no longer used frequently after André Jardine left the helm of the Mexican team. América even tried to find a solution to send the player back to Fluminense, but the parties did not reach an agreement. With Santos interested, Lima will return to Brazilian football for the remainder of the season. The 28-year-old midfielder played an important role in Fluminense’s 2023 Copa Libertadores-winning campaign. In 2025, however, he lost space in Tricolor’s squad and was loaned to América-MEX for 2026.
