Vasco enter race with São Paulo for Fluminense midfielder Lima, a Libertadores winner | OneFootball

Vasco da Gama are interested in Fluminense midfielder Lima as they look to strengthen for 2026. According to PaponaColina, they hold an interest in signing the Libertadores winner.

Any deal is complicated, with São Paulo already in talks and having considered the player an advanced target in recent days.

Lima is represented by Giuliano Bertolucci, an influential agent who had been awaiting a proposal from Arab football that has not materialised. That stance has opened the door to interest from Brazilian clubs.

In market view he is a low-profile, industrious option. He can operate centrally or from the flanks.

Lima has spent three years at Fluminense, contributing to triumphs in the Campeonato Carioca, the Libertadores and the Recopa Sudamericana.

Born in Araçatuba, he came through at Grêmio and has featured for Mallorca, Al-Wasl and Ceará, where he impressed from 2019 to 2022.
