The players' agent, Walid Al Shamsi, revealed that "the outstanding performance of Al-Wasl player and the national football team, Fabio Lima, in the last period, especially with the national team, contributed to raising the player's market value to about five million dollars," describing the player as "super." And the scorer, and that he and his colleague, the national team and Al-Jazira club's top scorer, Ali Mabkhout, made the difference with Al-Abyad. "Lima succeeded in compensating for the absence of Al-Ahly youth player Omar Abdel Rahman from the national team in the last period, after Al-Abyad was previously dependent on Amouri and Mabkhout greatly," he said.

He added to "Emirates Today": "Although Amouri is a distinguished and influential player, Lima made up for his place in the national team, and represented an essential element in his ranks, and everyone is now betting on him alongside Ali Mabkhout." Al Shamsi continued, "The market value of Lima has risen significantly, as evidenced by the fact that several clubs are competing to obtain his services, especially after obtaining Emirati citizenship, and the media recently talked about receiving an astronomical offer from one of the clubs, but he preferred to stay in Al-Wasl." Lima, 28, scored with the national team five goals in four matches in the last World Cup qualifiers, and deservedly contributed with the rest of his colleagues in qualifying Al-Abyad to the decisive round of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.

Lima ranked second in the Arab Gulf League's top scorer last season, with 22 goals, behind the league's top scorer, Ali Mabkhout (25 goals).

Al Shamsi continued: "Lima's influence with Al-Abyad was evident during the recent matches against Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand, in which the team won the way we wanted."

He continued, "When Amouri was making the difference in the national team, Al-Abyad at the time included a group of great players in their glory, but now Lima has made the difference with the brilliant Mabkhout, in the presence of a large group of hardworking young players and young people."

Lima, 28, scored 5 goals in the team's last matches, and was the runner-up for the league's top scorer after Ali Mabkhout.
