Born in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Lima joined Grêmio's youth setup in 2013, after starting it out at Tanabi.
On 17 July 2015 he was loaned to Spanish Segunda División side RCD Mallorca, in a season-long deal.
Lima subsequently returned to Grêmio (which refused a € 1 million offer from Mallorca) in July 2016,[5] and was included in the first team by manager Roger Machado.
He only made his first team debut on 2 March of the following year, starting in a 1–1 Primeira Liga home draw against Ceará.
Lima made his Série A debut on 28 May 2017, coming on as a second-half substitute for fellow youth graduate Careca in a 3–4 loss at Sport.
