Defender linked with summer move to Barcelona

Lucio is looking to quit Bayern Munich in the summer in order to move to a different league. The Brazilian defender originally arrived in the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen in the 2000/01 season before joining Bayern in 2004. He has been linked with an end-of-season switch to Barcelona, with reports claiming the Spanish club have offered the centre-half a four-year contract. The 29-year-old did not confirm any interest from Barcelona, but hinted he is hoping to find a new challenge in the summer.

Hoping for interest

"I have already said the leagues in Spain, Italy and England - three of the strongest in the world - all interest me," Lucio, who is contracted to Bayern until 2010, told the Munich Abendzeitung. "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 is usually a few conversations and a solution is found fast."
