Club career

Lima was born in Fortaleza, Ceará. After making his professional debut with Associação Desportiva São Caetano, he went on to represent Brazil at both the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup and the 2007 South American U-20 Championship, [2] helping the national side to the conquest of the latter tournament.

In July 2007, Lima signed a five-year contract with Portugal's FC Porto. [3] He struggled heavily in his first season and, furthermore, was later involved in a false documentation incident after it was revealed that he had not been born on 19 December 1987, as initially registered (he was also "named" Luis Leandro Abreu de Lima in the initial procedures). [4]

Lima spent the entire 2008–09 campaign on loan to fellow Primeira Liga club Vitória de Setúbal, [5] helping the sadinos barely avoid relegation. [6] On 17 July 2009 he was once again loaned, returning to Brazil with Cruzeiro Esporte Clube. [7]

In late April 2010, after Cruzeiro were eliminated from the Copa Libertadores by fellow Brazilians São Paulo FC, Lima was released alongside eight teammates. [8] In late August he returned to Portugal, agreeing to a two-year deal at U.D. Leiria. [9]

Lima returned to Brazil on 7 July 2011, joining Série A team Avaí FC. [10] After appearing in only nine matches and suffering relegation, he was released. [11]

Lima signed with K League's Daegu FC on 19 January 2012, leaving at the end of the season but returning shortly after. In 2014, after being relegated, he moved to fellow league club Jeonnam Dragons. [12]

Third-Party Ownership (TPO) in association football is the ownership of a player's economic rights by third-party sources. The third-party—which can be an agent such as a football agent, an agency, such as a sports-management agency, a company, investors such as a hedge-fund, or a single investor—"takes ownership of all or part of the financial rights to a player". In some cases when a footballer is sold, the TPO, not the football club, can benefit from transfer fees and contract negotiations fees. Note that this differs from co-ownership in football, where a player's transfer rights are shared between two clubs.
