Lucas Leiva says he has no plans to leave Lazio.

While many Europe-based stars have returned to Brazil over the past 18 months, Lucas isn't so sure.

The Lazio midfielder explained: "I would like to return to Brazil for family and friends but the security problems in the country discourage me for the moment.

"I miss lunches with family and friends but you can't have it all, I'm fine here and I'm happy with what I've achieved."

Lucas is contracted to Lazio until 2022.
