The Brazil international attacker joined Paris Saint-Germain in 2013 after leaving Sao Paulo.

The 29-year-old has said that he had always planned to stay in Europe for 10 years.

Lucas told ESPN Brasil: It’s in my plans to go back to Brazil, back to São Paulo. I never hid it from anyone, I never hid the affection and love I feel for São Paulo.

“When I left São Paulo, I said I wanted to stay for 10 years in Europe. Come rain, come shine, my goal, my plan is to stay 10 years.”

“But I do have a plan to go back, go back to São Paulo. I want to feel again what it’s like to play at Morumbi [São Paulo’s stadium], wear that shirt, the club of my heart. But I still have wood to burn. I’m feeling very good. Physically.”
