Lucas Moura may reportedly look to leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer having dropped down the pecking order at the Premier League club.

Lucas Moura may reportedly look to depart Tottenham Hotspur during the summer transfer window.

The Brazil international has already ensured that he will forever hold a positive legacy at the North London outfit, the playmaker famously scoring a hat-trick against Ajax to earn Spurs a place in the 2019 Champions League final.

In terms of overall contribution in the final third, Moura has chipped in with 38 goals and 27 assists from 202 appearances since his arrival from Paris Saint-Germain in January 2018.

However, Moura, who will turn 30 years of age in August, is no longer first choice under Antonio Conte with Dejan Kulusevski having moved to the club at the start of 2022.

That may directly result in Moura opting to find a new challenge over the coming months, transfer expert Ekrem Konur suggesting that he could return to his homeland with former club Sao Paulo.

Konur claims that the top-flight outfit are monitoring any developments with Moura's situation, rather than preparing an offer at the present time.

Moura started his career at Tricolor Paulista, chipping in with 22 goals and 19 assists before earning his big move to Europe with PSG.

During his time at Estadio do Morumbi, Moura helped the club win the 2012 Copa Sudamericana, the creator playing as many as 60 games during his final year.

That remains Moura's most active season and he will realistically not get anywhere near that appearance total at Spurs in 2022-23 with Ivan Perisic having been signed from Inter Milan.

Despite now being 33 years of age, the Croatia international made 35 starts in Serie A last season and has previously worked under Conte.

As it stands, it is unclear how Spurs value Moura with regards to a transfer fee, the player currently having two years remaining on his contract.

According to Transfermrket, his price tag should now be in the region of £18m, although chairman Daniel Levy has been known to be a hard negotiator when it comes to valuations.

However, Conte may want to raise additional transfer funds as soon as possible to become a major player in the race for his own targets.

Spurs, who finished in fourth position in the top flight this season, allegedly have eyes on Eintract Frankfurt wideman Filip Kostic.
