Tottenham Hotspur attacker Lucas Moura has opened up about his future in a recent interview with Flow Sport Club.
The 30-year-old has revealed that he is open to renewing his deal with the London club, but he is prepared to leave for free if Spurs do not offer him an extension.
Moura will be out of contract at the end of the season.
The Brazilian attacking midfielder has fallen down the pecking order at Spurs since the arrivals of Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski. He needs to play regularly at this stage of his career and staying at Spurs might not be in his best interests.
The 30-year-old was a key player for the club under Mauricio Pochettino and he helped the Londoners reach the finals of the Champions League in 2019.
Since the arrival of Antonio Conte, he has had to settle for the role of a squad player. The player has now revealed that he is only 30 and he is looking forward to joining a club where he will get to play more often.
It will be interesting to see if the Londoners are willing to give him the necessary assurances and tie him down to a new deal before the summer window.
“Man, my plan, to be honest, I want to play football and I want to be in a club that allows me to play at a high level, play in a good league, play at a good level. That’s my plan. I still have a lot of firewood to burn, I’m 30 years old, so I’m very young,” Lucas Moura told Flow Sport Club.
“If Tottenham want to renew, cool too, a club I like a lot, I’m adapted. Let’s see, let’s hear the renewal proposal.”
“If they don’t want to, I’ll leave for free, and being free, of course, more proposals appear. So it’s a matter of analysing and seeing what we decide.”
