Lucas Moura has been linked move away from Tottenham because of his lack of playing time, and Flamengo are interested in bringing him back to Brazil.
According to a report from Bolavip, Lucas Moura is on the radar of Brazilian club Flamengo. The Brazilian giants are looking to sign the 30-year-old attacker from Tottenham at the end of the season.
The Brazilian attacker has fallen down the pecking order at Tottenham since the arrivals of Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski. A player of his quality needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and it will be interesting to see if he is willing to call time on his career at the north London club and return to Brazil.
Flamengo will represent an impressive move at this stage of his career, and Moura is likely to play regularly with the Brazilian club. The 30-year-old has a contract with Tottenham until the summer of 2024, and he could be signed for a nominal price at the end of the season. Spurs will not want to lose him as a free agent at the end of next season.
So it makes sense for them to sell him for a reasonable fee this summer. The player is unlikely to sign an extension with Tottenham given his current status in the squad. Unless Antonio Conte can guarantee him regular first-team action, it would make sense for both parties to part ways amicably at the end of this season.
Moura has been an important player for Tottenham since joining the club, and he was a key player for them under Mauricio Pochettino. The 30-year-old played a key role in Tottenham’s run to the UEFA Champions League final in 2019.
He is on considerable wages at Tottenham, and it will be interesting to see if Flamengo club can afford him in the summer. The player might need to reduce his wage demands to join the Brazilian giants.
The opportunity to move back to his homeland could be a tempting proposition for the talented attacker. And it will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the next few months amid uncertainties surrounding his Tottenham future.
