Lucas Lima is a 36-year-old attacking midfielder at Sport Recife, rated 24.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 344th of 427 in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (82.6% of available minutes). He brings 0.31 goal contributions per 90 (0.1 goals, 0.21 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lima.
Judged on this season alone, Lima graded 32 — a strong campaign that ranks top 23% of the 57 attacking midfielders in the Serie A, on 3 goals and 6 assists in 33 appearances (0.311 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 33 → 32). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 51st of 57 of the 57 attacking midfielders in the Serie A. At 36 Lima is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 9.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Lima missed 3 games through injury (yellow cards, suspension) out of roughly 38 this season. The 33 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
A career still climbing — Lima is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
3 goals in 33 appearances (0.09 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 6 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 9 goal contributions (0.27 per appearance).
With a Rating of 24.3, Lima carries the 51st-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Serie A of 57, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Sport Recife finished 20th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.31 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~32), then tapers with age. At 36, Lima sits on 9.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Lima's projected Rating — 24.3 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
