It’s actually a breakup.
Lucas Moura is expected to leave Tottenham at the end of the season. The British media’Telegraph’ said on the 12th (Korean time), “Tottenham will not exercise the option to extend the contract for Moura.”
Moura’s contract with Tottenham expires at the end of this season. Tottenham told Moura that they had no intention of renewing the contract.
Born in Brazil, Moura started growing when he joined the Sao Paulo youth team at the age of 13. He started making a name for himself with 22 goals and 19 assists in two seasons for the senior team.
He moved to PSG (Paris Saint-Germain) in 2013 and joined Tottenham five years later. He played an active role as a top-class joker in Tottenham. 스포츠토토
He was put in as a substitute in the second half rather than a starter, and was tasked with changing the flow to attack. In particular, he scored a hat-trick against Ajax in the semi-finals of the 2019 UEFA Champions League, leading Tottenham to the final. He has so far scored 38 goals and 27 assists in 213 appearances for Tottenham.
But this season, there was no place. Son Heung-min, Harry Kane, and Dejan Kulusevski three-top system was hardened, so he could not start. His chances narrowed even further as he was new to Hishalli Song.
Additionally, a calf injury limited him to just two appearances this season. Tottenham was not very interested in re-signing Moura.
Even when he comes back from injury, he has a hard time getting into the rotation. He is already an out-of-power player.
Moura wants to stay in the Premier League rather than return to Sao Paulo. Aston Villa, Manchester United and Newcastle United showed interest in Moura last summer. Although his heyday has passed, it is evaluated that it is not enough to be used as a replacement card.
