São Paulo have reportedly turned down an offer from Manchester United for Lucas Moura.
The 19-year-old, who is widely considered as one of the most exciting talents in South America, has long been a transfer target for the Red Devils.
According to Globo Esporte, Manchester United made an offer worth €33 million for Lucas 40 days ago and conducted their negotiations with São Paulo via the player’s agent, Wagner Ribeiro.
It is said that the offer was valid until Friday evening and United are now no longer willing to increase their bid for the Brazil international, who has also wanted by Chelsea, Real Madrid and Inter Milan.
São Paulo own 80% of Lucas’ economic rights, and it is believed that they want atleast €38 million for the attacker.
