La Liga giants Real Madrid look set to miss out on the signing of one of Brazilian football’s next breakthrough talents.
That’s according to Relevo, who point towards Sport Recife prodigy Pedro Lima as the player in question.
The name of defender Lima has featured heavily in the headlines in Spain’s capital across the day to date.
This comes after word was forthcoming that the 17-year-old Brazil youth international had made his way firmly onto the radar of the aforementioned Real Madrid.
Lima is a gifted right-back, who has already drawn early comparisons to fellow countryman and Seleção icon Cafú.
In turn, it will no doubt mark a source of disappointment for those of a Blancos persuasion to hear that Lima looks all set to take his talents elsewhere.
As per the aforementioned Relevo:
‘Chelsea was the team that was most interested in the player, and is now embarking on the final phase of his transfer, with very little left to close.’
