Tottenham Hotspur winger Lucas Moura continues to be the reason for many stories in the Brazilian press, as his presence in São Paulo has been fuelling the rumours about a return to the club.
As reported by Globo Esporte, the player visited his former side three times in the past week, having even held a meeting with their president Julio Casares.
But that still doesn’t mean his return to São Paulo is now close. The outlet points out that the Tricolor believe he’s staying in Europe for a couple more years, and are only monitoring the situation because they believe it’s their duty to do so.
Lucas Moura himself confirms that he should stay at Tottenham for longer, especially because of their spot in the Champions League. Quoted by Globo Esporte, the player gave a percentage for his permanence in London, insisting he continues to be happy at the club.
“Most likely. We never know what might happen, the window will open. But I’ll probably stay there. I have one more year and the club’s option to extend it. With the qualification for the Champions League, I want to play in the Champions League again, then we’ll see what happens.
“In this window there’s a 90% chance I’ll stay there. I’m happy. I was always very happy at Tottenham. Life in England is fantastic, my family and children are used to it. Coming back to the Champions League makes it even easier to continue.”
