The Brazilian ace told Globo in his homeland that he had hoped to be playing alongside 17-year-old Lima, who is set to join Premier League rivals Chelsea and go out on loan to Strasbourg.

Despite choosing blue over gold, Cunha is still wishing the 17-year-old well as he embarks on his European adventure.
