The PSG ace is a reported transfer target for Tottenham Hotspur.
Spurs target Lucas Moura’s agents will meet with Napoli sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli tomorrow, according to Sky Italia, over the possibility of a potential switch from Paris to Naples this month.
The Brazilian ace’s days at the Parc des Princes appear to be numbered, and some of Europe’s top clubs are interested in signing him.
Tottenham were thought to be leading the race for the 25-year-old’s signature, according to the Daily Mail, but the north London outfit’s hopes of bringing him to club appear to have received a blow today.
Sky Italia claim that Lucas Moura’s agents will meet with Napoli sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli tomorrow to discuss the possibility of their client joining the Serie A side.
Spurs fans have been highly critical of their side’s ponderous approach to transfers in the past, and the news of Napoli stealing a march on the Lilywhites will surely be the source of even greater frustration for the Tottenham fans.
Lucas is available for round £35.2 million this month, according to French publication Le Parisien, and in today’s ludicrously inflated transfer market, that would represent an absolute steal.
There really is no excuse for Spurs to miss out on the PSG ace, but with Napoli now entering the race for his signature, things all of a sudden seem to have got that little bit more complicated.
Will Levy and co ever learn not to drag their feet when it comes to transfer negotiations?
