About the player
The name catches the eye before anything else. Juan Rikelme Lima dos Santos shares it with the Argentinian midfielder Juan Román Riquelme and with the Ecuadorian forward Juan Rikelme Angulo, and he is neither of them: he is a Brazilian left-back on the books at Náutico in Recife, wearing number 37.
In 2026 he was handed a debut in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B, against Atlético Goianiense. It stands as his one appearance in the competition that season. He did not score and did not register an assist in the match.
Beyond that, the record is thin. Public sources carry his date of birth, his height and his position, and little else — no weight, no preferred foot, no honours, no club before Náutico. The senior file has one line in it, and the line is the debut.
Until then, the identifiers are the ones on the team sheet: the 37 on his back, the position on the left of defence, and a name that will keep prompting a second look for as long as he plays under it.
