As São Paulo fans continue to be hopeful that they could have Lucas Moura back at the club, Brazilian journalists have to keep denying those rumours again and again.
Earlier this week, we’d already seen the player’s agent claiming Tottenham Hotspur have ‘no interest’ in negotiating the winger this summer.
Still, journalist Jorge Nicola continued to receive questions about a potential move, and in a video released today, he explains the reason why Lucas Moura wouldn’t return to the Brazilian club this summer.
He once again claims to have spoken to agent Junior Pedroso, who this time said that even though the player is ‘in love’ with São Paulo and has the wish to play for the club again, that won’t happen anytime soon.
He claims ‘it’s predicted’ that Moura has a more featured role at Spurs this season, and since he’s protected with a contract running until 2024, São Paulo would have no conditions to take him out of the Premier League now.
