Liverpool veteran Lucas Leiva is wanted by former club Gremio.

His first club Gremio are keen to take the 30-year-old back to south American having initially tried to sign him in the January window.

The vice-director of Gremio Odorico Román recently addressed the situation and said: “Lucas is a great player, it would be an impact signing.

"If there is a possibility in the financial conditions of Gremio, and that also serves Lucas' interest, it is possible that he may come.

“At this time, there is no negotiation. I talked to him a few days ago. At any moment we can make contact. He is also seeing the interest of other clubs. There is, yes, possibility of him coming. There is currently nothing in progress."
