Lucas Ribeiro Costa, who is on the books of Cultural Deportiva Leonesa, who plays in the Spanish La Liga division, has STARTED to attract scouts.
Ribeiro (27), who holds the PSL Footballer of the Season award and other major awards, has been in the headlines recently for the problems he was facing in his Spanish team.
In 20 league games, Ribeiro still found the back of the net three times, creating one more goal for his teammate, which is a very low number if you compare him to the time he was playing in the PSL.
Since his team is facing relegation, this should be a situation that the Brazilian player is not used to, as last season he did not even look down on the fans of Sundowns’ enemy teams.
Since the reports about the problems that Ribeiro is facing in Spain have spread, it seems that he has been denied.
There is still a feeling among Sundowns fans that he should be helping them this season to avoid the situation of the previous one when the team from Chloorkop lost to Pyramids FC of Egypt in the finals of the Caf Champions League.
It turns out that there are still three teams who want to sign Ribeiro as his contract expires at the end of this season.
Recently, Ribeiro’s problems in Spain have been used by Kaizer Chiefs fans to persuade the management of this team to sign him quickly, so that he does not return to Sundowns or is taken by other overseas teams.
In last weekend’s game, Ribeiro started but was taken off within the first half. All of these are indicators of the major problems that have plagued this player who has already been promoted by the teams.
Among the teams said to be interested in Ribeiro is Real Mallorca, which plays in the Spanish La Liga.
Mallorca, who recently beat Real Madrid in the league, have been promoted to the top flight for five seasons since Ribeiro played.
Apart from this Spanish team, it appears that Wydad AC and Raja Casablanca, both from Morocco, are trying their best to strengthen this player who has a history of defeating all the teams that are considered as hundreds in African and South African football respectively.
