The other discussion that took place on Sunday was in regards to Joorabchian’s other client Lucas Lima. The Brazilian playmaker who’s contract is expiring is ready to experience free agency in the Summer. Kia tried to pursue the player to Milan over the Summer, however, Inter now can begin pushing since there is No such transfer fee to be made. The top agent wants 5 Million Euro per year while it is believed that Inter was willing to offer 2.5 Million plus bonuses based on appearances.
Lucas Lima seems to have offers to play in China but the Brazilian prefers playing in Europe, possibly in Italy. It is for this reason that Kia Joorabchian met with Milan Sporting Director Massimiliano Mirabelli to discuss a potential destination for his client to the Red and Black team of Milan. Could this be another Derby Della Madonininna but this time for Lucas Lima?
