Turkish outlet Fanatik claim that Tottenham attacker Lucas Moura has agreed to join Turkish side Fenerbahce and there is a chance could be done right now – but that decision is down to current Spurs manager Antonio Conte.
Moura, 30, has endured a difficult season. Just two starts and 11 appearances in all competitions. The Brazil star is out of contract at the end of the season and it was expected he would be leaving on a free. Now, perhaps sooner.
Sabah claimed earlier this week that Fenerbahce were closing in on a deal to sign him immediately. There is a three-year deal on the table for Moura, worth £43,000 a week. Fanatik now claim Moura has agreed a deal to join Fener.
They report a deal is done for Moura to move to Turkey in the summer. But, there is a chance a deal could be done now and it is up to Conte, whether he is willing to wave goodbye to Moura now, rather than at the end of the season.
Tottenham attacker Moura agrees to join Fenerbahce; Conte decision
So, the question is, will Moura be leaving in a similar deal that saw Matt Doherty leave on a free transfer to complete a move to Atletico Madrid? He has hardly made an impact this campaign, due to his lack of momentum and injury.
Spurs signed Arnaut Danjuma in the January window and he scored on debut. Danjuma and Richarlison are superb options to come off the bench and replace Son Heung-min or Deki Kulusevski. Others can play in the front three.
But, Danjuma might be used more as a replacement for Harry Kane at times and that opens up a gap on the wing. Bryan Gil has left on loan. So, surely – and if Moura is willing – Conte would prefer to keep him until the summer.
