Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva has been speaking about his future to Radio Atlantica. The 30-year-old Brazilian is into the last year of his contract at Anfield but it seems after 10 years on Merseyside, the player wants to move back to his homeland to re-join Gremio, who he left in 2007 to move to the Premier League.
 

With the transfer window set to open on July 1, Lucas explained that; “There was an offer from Gremio in January but I wanted to complete 10 years at Liverpool. Now in the window we had a conversation, but nothing official. I do not hide my desire to return to Gremio, but there are several factors.”
 

The player has been a fans favourite during his spell with the Reds and has made 339 appearances. His current boss Jurgen Klopp, spoke last month on his desire to keep him for another season when he stated that; “Lucas is in a good moment and is very important for us. The club showed its best face when we celebrated his 10 years."
