Lucio to leave Bayern Munich?

Brazilian defender Lucio could be set to leave Bayern Munich as he revealed in the press that a move away from the club in the summer could be a possibility. Barcelona are monitoring his situation closely.

He told the German press: "I have already said the leagues in Spain, Italy and England - three of the strongest in the world - all interest me.

"If interest is shown from any of these countries, I would be very pleased.

"Bayern have already told me they want to keep me, but all clubs say that to their players if they are still under contract.

"If interest is shown by another club for a player, there are usually a few conversations and a solution is found fast."
