Sao Paulo midfielder Lucas has cooled talk of moving to Europe.

Liverpool, Manchester United, AC Milan and Barcelona have all tracked his progress but Lucas believes he is better off staying put for now.

"I'm only 19, I'm still young and I'm scared of not being able to adapt to life abroad. I hope that this'll change some day," said Lucas, who has 10 caps for Brazil.

He added: "I'm working up a great relationship with the Sao Paulo fans. The worst aspect of being a footballer is not being able to see my childhood friends, who I miss very much."
