Out of plan, Lucas Lima makes it difficult for Santos to leave and irritates the president

After an unlikely return last season, Lucas Lima does not see its future together with the Santos, just as the club does not have the player in its plans for 2024. However, after refusing a salary reduction, the midfielder became the target of other clubs. To date, according to Marcelo Teixeirapresident of Peixe, the athlete refused four different proposals.

Even without being in Santos’ plans, the player seems to make it difficult for him to leave. “Lucas Lima has already rejected four proposals. He is still making the choice. It is the professional’s right. We will continue to do this work, but there is a limit. He has a valid contract. Let’s wait for the next negotiations to have the best possible outcome”, said Marcelo Teixeira.

The president seemed uncomfortable with the situation, as Santos is about to debut in the Paulista championship and still hasn’t managed to put an end to this soap opera with Lucas Lima. The player’s most recent refusal was with the Sportwho already had an agreement with Peixe, but was unable to contact the midfielder to close the deal, according to ‘GE’.

At 33 years old, Lucas Lima has a contract with Santos until April next year. Therefore, the negotiations in which the player was discussed were for a loan, to spend the 2024 season away from Peixe. With a salary of around R$ 350 thousand, the São Paulo club considers it unfeasible to keep an athlete with these salaries to compete in the Serie B.

As it is out of the plans, Lucas Lima does not even train with the rest of the cast, led by Fábio Carille. As a result, the midfielder continues to perform daily in the CT King Pelébut doing work separately.
