Player Watch Player Watch - Lucas Moura

U.S. Spurs Fan said:

I have no idea how anyone could complain about this if it goes through. Why didn't he play at PSG? Well, he has two of probably the top five or so attackers in the world in front of him in Neymar and Mbappe. He was extremely well regarded a few years ago.

From wikipedia:

"During the summer of 2012, both Manchester United and Internazionale were reported to be interested in signing Lucas.[4] On 8 August 2012, Paris Saint-Germain won the battle and announced the player would be moving to the club in January 2013. He would be the club's most expensive signing."

He went straight from a Brazilian side into one of the top four or five clubs in the world. If he was not a top prospect, why would Man U and PSG be fighting over him. And we can get him now for a price significantly less that what we paid for Sissoko??? This is a no brainer and to get it in January is great news.

Aurier (for what they paid for him) has worked out pretty well and I think he will only continue to integrate better and improve. I would expect a similar situation here with Moura assuming it works out.

Before he moved to PSG, he was one of the most talented young players in the world. He's stagnated there, but it's a club in which that's easy to do. A move could do him the world of good, if he kicks on and starts to fulfill his potential - he'd be an incredible asset for us imo.

I have a suspicion you might be waiting a bit before it is announced and finalized... the club rarely announces anything on a match day so unless they throw up a stock photo today we're prob here until monday/tuesday for an announcement.

Tottenham & Lucas Moura agree on 4-year contract
Tottenham Hotspur have completed a provisional four-year contract agreement with PSG winger Lucas Moura ahead of a possible transfer this month, according to RMC.

Lucas was in London yesterday for a tour of the club’s facilities and to meet with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy.

Spurs accepted Moura’s salary demands with little hesitation, according to the report. PSG continue demand €25m excluding bonuses for the former Sao Paulo man.

Now, it is down to the clubs.

Seems to be a translation of the article posted earlier in this thread.

I suspect we're fairly close on valuation for him to have had such detailed discussions with us, but I do worry about the 'excluding bonuses' issue.

I can just imagine Levy saying, "well yes you can have an extra £5m if he scores more than 10 goals, but if he scores less than 10, we get Neymar."

Without know what those “bonuses” are it’s difficult to assess how close to agreement we are ( and if we are even able to reach one).

Basically sounds like, we fucked it up with him but if you can make good on him we want some sugar, in other words they want to benefit from our work so still some haggling to do.

I'm sure both clubs know that hopefully an agreement can be found. I presume he was in London with PSG shoving him.
