Santos insists on Jean Lucas, but Monaco play “tough game”

Seeking reinforcements for the continuation of the season, the saints still dreaming of the arrival ofJean Lucasformer player of the club, and who currently belongs to Monaco. Even with the athlete demonstrating a desire to return to Peixe, the team that plays in the French league has not facilitated negotiations.

The news of interest from Santos started last week, remembering that Jean is an old desire of the club, since he went to Europe. Despite this, negotiations with the French club have not evolved as expected in recent days, which diminishes any optimism of completing the signing.

With a contract until 2026, the defensive midfielder has not played since last October and is not in the team’s coach’s plans, and even so the management has been playing hard in the loan attempt. Santos’ hope is that his will makes the difference, as the player has already shown interest in returning to Vila Belmiro.

Revealed by Flamengohe arrived at Baixada Santista in 2019, where he stayed just a few months before being traded by the Cariocas with Lyon, from France. After a season and a half at the club, he played six months at Brest before moving to Monaco, where he has been since mid-2021.

Eliminated from the Campeonato Paulista and classified in the first two phases of the Copa do Brasil, Santos has been training focused on the beginning of the Brasileirão dispute, which starts in mid-April. Until then, the board expects to announce reinforcements to bolster the cast that did not perform well at the beginning of the season.
