Recent reports have confirmed to Footyvaild, that the Blues are in ‘advanced negotiations’ for the 17-year-old.
Meanwhile, according to Brazilian sports outlet Globo Esporte, Chelsea are claimed to have already made two bids, one of which is said to have been of £5million (€6m) plus add-ons.
However, since that bid is said to have been rejected, Chelsea have put in another offer of £6m (€7m), with the possibility of it reaching €8m (€10m).
Now Footyvaild understands that Recife are unlikely to accept that fee given that Lima has a £10m (€12m) clause inserted in his contract for negotiations with international clubs
