Lucas Moura is everywhere. Everywhere!

Tottenham’s Champions League hero is all over the world sport media and there’s endless stories about him.

L’Equipe, who are well known for being very tough with their player ratings, gave the Brazilian a ten… incredibly rare.

Spain’s El Confidencial have a different take on the player, and they’ve published an article saying Moura could be at Real Madrid, if Jose Mourinho hadn’t rejected the signing.

Back in 2012, Florentino Perez had become interested in the then youngster, and Mourinho went to watch a friendly between Denmark and Brazil.

Whilst the Portuguese coach thought Moura was talented, he didn’t believe he was close enough to the finished article, so the move never happened.

Interestingly, Moura was repeatedly linked with a move to a Mourinho club again, ahead of the 2018 January transfer window. Manchester United were thought to be interested, but didn’t make a move in the end and saw the player swap PSG for Tottenham.
