After five years at the club, Moura will depart in the summer when his current deal expires. Spurs opted not to trigger an extension on his contract and will instead let the player leave for free at the end of the season (Telegraph).
Injuries have played a part in pushing Moura to the fringes of Antonio Conte’s squad of late, and the arrivals of Dejan Kulusevski, Richarlison, and Arnaut Danjuma have seen the 30-year-old slip further and further down the pecking order at Spurs.
It remains to be seen where Moura will end up next season, with plenty of clubs believed to be interested. Sevilla, Porto, and Lazio were all suggested as possible destinations (Jorge Nicola).
While Brazilian outlet UOL claimed Moura’s representatives have met with clubs in England, Italy, and France.
The latest out of Italy suggests AC Milan director Paolo Maldini may look to the Brazilian to add to his attacking options at the San Siro. A poor season has apparently left the club looking to “straighten the course and perhaps fix the squad with reinforcements of quality and absolute value.”
That’s where Moura may come in, with a free transfer suiting the Serie A side. However, the one stumbling block may be the fact the player is “no longer very young,” so it will all depend on whether Milan are ready to take a risk on Moura.
Spurs Web Opinion
I think the Italian game could be a good fit for Moura at this stage of his career. It’s a much slower, perhaps more technical league than the Premier League, and he could put his abilities to good use there.
