São Paulo’s Lucas Moura is already eagerly anticipating his move to French giants PSG in January as he looks ahead to the 2014 World Cup.
The Seleção playmaker will complete his move to the Ligue 1 side in January after rejecting advances from Manchester United.
Lucas told reporters: “I have ambitions to fulfil in Europe and PSG are a massive club. I am leaving Brazil to take up a massive opportunity for me with Paris Saint-Germain. A footballer needs to seize moments like these, you never know what tomorrow is going to bring.
“They made a good proposition to both me and Sao Paulo which allowed me to stay in Brazil for the rest of the domestic season and move in January. There are also a lot of Brazilian players at the club and they have an excellent project, these factors made me make my decision.”
The midfielder also admitted that the World Cup was at the forefront of his mind when signing for PSG.
“It means a lot to Brazilian footballers that the next World Cup will be played in our country and to be part of the squad is something that I think about every day.
“I grew up watching it on television and now there is a possibility to play in a World Cup. It is getting closer and closer and I have to prove myself every day in order to help towards our quest of winning a sixth title. To do that in front of our fans is a chance of a lifetime.”
