Thiago Silva: Lucas should join Napoli

Thiago Silva believes that Lucas Moura should try his hand at Serie A football, and specifically by joining Napoli.

Though he is wanted by Manchester United - his favourite option - the €45 million rated Brazilian is only wanted on loan by Jose Mourinho. Other suitors - Nice, Nantes, Bordeaux - don’t have the money or the prestige for him.

The latest side to join the race has been Napoli, who recently failed in a bid to land Simone Verdi of Bologna.

“I haven’t discussed Serie A with Lucas,” Thiago Silva star told SportMediaset.

Thiago enjoyed a number of excellent seasons with the Rossoneri, before signing with PSG  for €42 million in 2012.

“Should he leave PSG? Playing in Naples would be an excellent opportunity for him,” Silva continued.

Lucas himself was a target for Inter and a number of other teams back in 2013, when he finally joined the Parisian side instead.

Though never very consistent, the Brazilian still managed twelve goals in the last campaign.
