Lucas Leiva seeking Liverpool exit

Lucas Leiva has revealed that he is "looking around" for a new club after falling out of favour at Liverpool.

The 27-year-old midfielder has made just two starts for the Reds this season in the Premier League, and has yet to complete a full 90 minutes of action.

A move to Napoli in the summer reportedly broke down, although a reunion with former manager Rafael Benitez could now be back on the cards.

"I'm not speaking to anyone at the moment because I'm under contract, but I am looking around, given I am not playing," the London Evening Standard quotes Lucas as saying.

"There was contact with Napoli last summer, but the parties didn't reach a satisfactory agreement. It's true that Benitez has always held me in high esteem."

The Brazilian joined Liverpool from Gremio in 2007.
