Will stay? The president of San Paolo provides clues about the future of Lucas Moura

The striker was a key player in Dorival Júnior’s team in the second half of the season

The president of San Paolo, Julio Casares, expressed confidence in Lucas Moura’s stay until 2024. In an interview with ‘ESPN’ in Morumbi, scene of the legendary match between San Paolo and Milan, the director stated that the possibilities of The star’s permanence is eight and a half, on a scale of zero to ten.

– We are very optimistic, the conversations are good. He wants to stay, the family wants to stay. We have a lot of respect in not probing the athlete, but I am very optimistic about Lucas. I am extremely cautious and will only confirm it when it is signed. But yesterday I spoke to him and I’m very excited. It would be our first reinforcement.

Despite the caution, the statements of the president of San Paolo give the fans hope, given that Lucas has made Dorival Júnior’s team make a leap in quality. The striker was decisive on the pitch, as in the Copa do Brasil semi-final against Corinthians, and fundamental to his leadership in the dressing room. In other words: number seven is one of those players who is impossible to replace.

The director also said that Lucas’ stay will be a sort of “Christmas present” for Sao Paulo fans. Casares, however, made a point of mentioning other players who have already signed or are close to signing with the club, as a way to honor his team, which he considers competitive for the 2024 season.

– We are doing our best to ensure that we can reward fans with Lucas’ presence. We already have Erick, who is a great value, Luiz Gustavo, we will sign with Bobadilla. It’s about looking at one or two positions that are missing. I think 2024 will be a very competitive year – he concluded.

One of the “conditions” for Lucas’s stay at Tricolor was the assembly of a competitive team to compete for the season’s major titles, including the Libertadores. The striker has never played in the competition and wants to do well in his debut, especially with the San Paolo shirt.

Lucas Moura returned to San Paolo in August, after practically 11 years in Europe. He played 19 games, scored three goals and won a cup: the unprecedented Copa do Brasil.
