According to Goal, Tottenham Hotspur winger Lucas Moura is considering leaving the club this summer.
It’s stated that two Saudi Arabian clubs – Al Hilal and Al Nassr – have made contact over a potential deal.
Ex-Brazil boss Mano Menezes is in charge of the latter, and wants to add Lucas to compatriots Petros, Anderson Talisca and Maicon.
Lucas allegedly isn’t ruling out a move away from Tottenham this summer, and is open to offers as things stand.
European clubs are believed to be keen on Lucas too, but the money on offer in Saudi Arabia could be very appealing.
Would Tottenham let Lucas go?
Probably. Lucas played in 30 Premier League games for Tottenham last season and has three years left on his contract, but he’s almost 29.
Football.London reported in March that Tottenham would be prepared to let Moura go for the right price, and that could now happen.
Would Tottenham miss Lucas?
The Brazilian is the fastest player at the club according to Matt Doherty, so losing that pace could be a blow.
Lucas is also a very hard-working player, with his defensive work off the ball making him popular under former boss Jose Mourinho.
Lucas isn’t going to increase his transfer value any time soon though, and given that he isn’t a nailed-on starter, selling him now and reinvesting in a younger player makes mreo sense for Tottenham.
