Lucas Moura: Brazilian Midfielder Would Excel with Paris Saint-Germain

Nineteen-year-old football star Lucas Moura would not only make an impact, but excel with French club Paris Saint-Germain this coming season.

According to Yahoo! Sports via Stefan Coerts, Joao Paulo de Jesus Lopes, the vice president of Moura's current club Sao Paulo, has said that Paris Saint-Germain have shown interest in the Brazilian midfielder.

PSG have done its part to make it clear to Sao Paulo and Moura that they are interested, but now it's up to Moura to request the move. 

If PSG are willing to spend the necessary money, then there shouldn't be any snags in a potential transfer from South America to Europe this summer.

This is what Paulo de Jesus Lopes told Le 10 Sport per Coerts' report:

"

"A transfer is an option, but it is up to the player to decide. Sao Paulo's policy is to listen to the player's desire. If Lucas wants to leave the club, Sao Paulo will not hamper a move. However, he will only leave for the right price."

"

PSG finished second in the French Ligue 1 last season, just three points back of Montpellier. Adding a young talent like Moura would surely boost their lineup and their explosiveness up front. 

Moura is a solid assist man and coming into his own as a scorer in front of the net.

Fans can watch Moura on the field at the 2012 London Olympics, where he is helping Brazil shoot for gold in men's soccer.

He has yet to score at the Summer Games, but he has eight goals and four assists with Sao Paulo in all competitions since the start of 2012.

The fact that Manchester United and Inter both had interest in the teenager, per Coerts' report, speaks to Moura's potential to develop into world-class midfielder.

He'll turn 20 this summer, and his price tag will only increase with time.

PSG are wise to have interest in Maura. After all, the Brazilian star has all the physical attributes required to excel with the French club.
