Real Madrid could make a bid for the Tottenham Hotspur star this summer, according to reports.
Tottenham signed Lucas Moura from Paris Saint-Germain for £23 million (BBC Sport) in January 2018, and despite initially struggling to settle in north London, he is now looking like a real player.
The 26-year-old has scored 15 goals in 48 appearances in all competitions for Spurs this season, and he is arguably now one of Mauricio Pochettino’s most important players.
According to the Daily Star, Real Madrid have been really impressed with the Brazilian’s performances this season, and are considering making a summer bid for the Tottenham ace, but Pochettino would be mad to sell him, just as he is starting to showcase what he is truly capable of.
Moura, who earns £80,000 per week according to Spotrac, has been a vital player for Spurs during Harry Kane’s absence, and his pace and drive offers Pochettino’s side something that they do to otherwise possess.
The Brazilian seems to be more than happy at Tottenham, and his unrivalled work-rate makes a huge difference to the way in which the north London outfit defend from the front.
Quite how much Tottenham would expect for Lucas is unclear, but should they decide to sell him to Madrid this summer, it could turn out to be something that they regret.
