Sao Paulo want Lucas Moura return

Sao Paulo president Juvenal Juvencio has revealed that he is keen for Lucas Moura to return to the club.

The winger left the Estadio do Morumbi in January of this year to link up with French champions Paris Saint-Germain.

However, he has struggled to secure a regular spot in Laurent Blanc's starting lineup this season and with that in mind, Juvencio has expressed his desire for the 21-year-old to re-sign on a one-year loan basis.

"Of course I am interested. Lucas Moura is my total priority. I talked with him recently, he visited the training ground, went to the dressing room," he told UOL.

"Let's see if it's possible. I'll do what I can. I'll try to bring him back on a year-long loan, then he can extend his contract with PSG for a year, or I'll give them another youth player.

"I know it won't be easy, but I want him here. I am waiting until we are in a safer situation in the league before dealing with this."

Lucas has made nine Ligue 1 appearances this season, four of which have come from the bench.
