Tottenham Hotspur have already turned down big money offers for Lucas Moura, Football London report.
Lucas has impressed for Spurs of late, with Jose Mourinho utilising him in a central position.
But Football London says that Spurs could be tempted to cash in on the Brazilian while his value is high.
That is a change in stance from Spurs, who have previously batted away all offers for the 28-year-old.
Mourinho actually recently descried Lucas’s performance against Aston Villa as ‘crazy’, as it was so good.
But it seems that his future at Tottenham is not as secure as many expected heading into the summer.
And despite his good form of late, that may actually be a smart move.
Lucas is reaching an age where his value is only set to deteriorate, and it is clear that Mourinho’s squad needs some renovation work done on it.
If Spurs could replace Lucas with a younger player, and use the money raised from his sale to strengthen their defence, then they could be a better side for his departure – even though Mourinho would surely be loathed to sell him right now.
