There's another Neymar-type battle on the way between Barcelona and Real Madrid. According to reports from Brazilian media, the two clubs are interested in the signing of Santos FC midifelder and Brazilian league star Lucas Lima. The 25-year-old recently received his first callup to play for the Brazil national team.
According to UOL Esporte, Lucas Lima has been a longtime target of Los Blancos, who reached out to Santos over the summer to express their interest. Due to their pursuit of other players during the last transfer window, Madrid president Florentino Pérez reportedly wants a January deal, and talks will resume once the winter comes around.
