Sao Paulo: 'Lucas not for sale'

Sao Paulo's director of football Adalberto Baptista has insisted that the club have no intention of selling Lucas Moura.

The 19-year-old Brazilian international has been linked with a host of English clubs, including Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool.

However, Baptista has also revealed that the player has not expressed a wish to leave the club.

"We have no interest in letting Lucas go," Baptista told Radio Estadao ESPN.

"Lucas also said he has no interest in leaving Sao Paulo. If it's to discuss a transfer, we have to talk about the buy-out clause, as we know his market value is much higher than what has been offered for him."

Inter Milan are also reportedly keen on the attacking midfielder.
